The OHA Ignite program is a new initiative designed to support alumni who are founding or scaling their own ventures. Through the scheme, young OHA members gain access to seed funding, mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs within the alumni network and the opportunity to connect with like-minded alumni founders and business leaders.   

By aligning with Haileybury’s emphasis on enterprise and entrepreneurship, OHA Ignite aims to catalyse bold ideas from the alumni community, whether that means taking the first steps towards a start-up or accelerating an early-stage business. Mentors may be matched by industry expertise (for example finance, engineering or investment banking) and the program seeks both applicants and alumni mentors/supporters to participate.
