Girish Pancha
CEO / Co-Founder, StreamSets
 

Ignition has by far the best relationships with AWS and Azure.  It means having premium access to AWS/Azure channels, engineering, marketing and sales even though we are still a small startup.

Pankaj Manglik
CEO / Co-Founder, Aviatrix
 

The Ignition team is such a powerful extension of our team, from coming up with great ideas to taking active roles in their execution, that we often actually forget they are VCs.

Don Bulens
CEO, Unidesk Corporation
 

Ignition’s commitment to Trifacta has been nothing short of tremendous. They have supported us in all aspects of our growth.

Adam Wilson
CEO, Trifacta
 

Experienced entrepreneurs know If you get the venture right, the capital usually takes care of itself. As experienced operators, the Ignition Partners put as much emphasis on the venture as the capital, and that is what truly differentiates them.

Jeff Hussey
CEO / Co-Founder, Tempered Networks
 

Tellwise needed an investment partner that was seasoned and understands the complexities of the enterprise marketplace. As a B2B startup, getting launched with solid advice, connections and capital are all critical. Ignition brought all of those to us in one great partnership.

Conrad Bayer
CEO / Co-Founder, Tellwise
 

At Tipbit, we wanted more than financial support from our investor. We chose Ignition because everyone there operates as an extension of our team across all aspects of the business from products, to customers, to partners.

Gordon Mangione
CEO, TipBit
 

Nymi sits at a complex intersection of multiple markets. Ignition Partners really ‘got it’ and have demonstrated that by acting as a true partner of the company. They’ve helped us build relationships around our ecosystem and proved that there is such a thing as ‘smart money.’

Karl Martin
CEO / Founder, Nymi
 

From the first time we met the Ignition team, we appreciated their transparency, candor and depth of industry knowledge. We have come to rely on their network and insight as we build Azuqua. These are people you feel good working with and who are massively committed to your success.

Nikhil Hasija
CEO / Co-Founder, Azuqua
 

Choosing Ignition Partners is like dining at Chez Panisse where it’s Alice Waters’ only restaurant and she really cares, and there’s personal attention versus dining at the Cheesecake Factory. They’re both good but good for different things.

Issac Roth
Co-Founder/Chief Products Officer, Strongloop
