CHICAGO - AussieJournal -- Ignite Technology and Innovation Inc. a 501c3 has partnered with The Lonely Entrepreneur, a New York-based 501c3, to create the Ignite Entrepreneurs Initiative (IEI) to empower 5,000 current and future entrepreneurs with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to succeed even in challenging times. IEI aligns its goals with the goals of Chicago's corporate and philanthropic community by helping them support small businesses, enhance their brands and meet their community, diversity, and social responsibility goals.

In keeping with Ignite's mission to create equitable wealth and a shared prosperity in under-resourced communities entrepreneurs throughout Chicago will have free access to The Lonely Entrepreneur Learning Community - a digital "one-stop shop" of the knowledge, tools and support entrepreneurs need to start and grow their businesses.  Both during and after COVID-19, this will provide Chicago entrepreneurs with the knowledge and support they need - wherever they are.

Through this initiative, Chicago's corporate and philanthropic community will "sponsor" 5,000 entrepreneurs to receive free access to The Lonely Entrepreneur Learning Community. Each sponsoring organization will have the opportunity to support the number and type of entrepreneurs of their choosing.

Entrepreneurs have a better chance of success. Companies and philanthropies can give back and meet their community and social responsibility goals. And it is an honor to partner with Ignite Technology and Innovation."
