The Ignite Program carries our technology × domain thesis to hackathon winners after the podium. The GenAI Radar discovers, flags and follows the emerging GenAI builds and ideas worth watching.
Hackathons crown winners on Sunday; weeks later, most winning repos are cold. The Ignite Program is designed, mentored and funded by JumpstartPad — winners-only, plugs into any hackathon, and gives winning teams a real shot at becoming startups.
WINNERS ONLY · RUNS ON ANY HACKATHON
How the Ignite Program runsOur take on where GenAI building is heading. The Radar surfaces interesting builds and ideas — from hackathons, research benches and side projects, India and global — flags the ones worth watching, and follows them honestly. When a build goes dark, the record says so.
