See What Founders Built After Bootcamp

Nutri Supplements

Matt Peterson

Matt used the Startup Ignition framework to evaluate an expansion opportunity for Nutri. The bigger impact? Applying validation principles to his core business. Nutri has grown more than 10x since the bootcamp.

foreUP

Evan Teshima

Evan connected with John Richards during college and received mentorship that was pivotal in helping foreUP think through their business model — which eventually led them to finding product-market fit within the golf industry.

Baton

Phil Kirkeiner

Phil attended Startup Ignition twice — once when he founded Baton, and again once he had more traction. He calls it the best investment he's ever made, estimating it saved him thousands of hours and millions of dollars in potential mistakes.

Balloon Artisan

Keenan Price

Keenan had been working on a business for 4 years when he attended Startup Ignition. Within hours, he realized it wasn't the right path. He pivoted to Balloon Artisan and hasn't looked back.

Quilia

Kenny Eliason

Kenny spent the better part of a decade running small businesses before meeting John Richards. That relationship changed everything — giving him the framework and confidence to build Quilia into a venture-backed company.

Dirty Dough

Bennett Maxwell

Bennett took over a small cookie concept and turned it into one of the fastest-growing franchise brands in America — surviving a public lawsuit from Crumbl and turning it into a growth engine. The lean startup principles from bootcamp shaped how he scaled.

Limble CMMS

Bryan Christiansen

Bryan found his key co-founder through the Startup Ignition bootcamp and applied deep customer validation — talking to 200+ potential users before building. Limble grew to a $450M valuation with a $58M Series B led by Goldman Sachs.
