IG Funding & Incubation
Operator capital for ambitious founders.

Strategic capital and incubation for founders solving problems where IG already has operating expertise. We back companies we can also help build.

What we do

The work this team owns

Most early-stage capital comes from people who have never operated. Our partners have. The companies we back get a check and a working bench, not a board observer.

VC access with the right rooms

Warm introductions into the partners who actually fund your stage and sector. We make calls, not lists.

Incubation that shapes the business

Pre-seed to Series A founders co-located with IG operators. Product strategy, GTM design, and hiring support inside the same week.

Fundraising strategy grounded in data

Round sizing, terms guidance, narrative architecture, and the metric story that closes the round. We help you walk into the room with the right numbers.

How we engage

A three-step working model

Clear scope, senior operators, measurable thresholds at every stage.

1

Evaluate

We look at the team, the market, and the operating fit with IG. If we can help build, we can invest.

2

Engage

Term sheet pairs capital with a working agreement on the operating support. Hours per week are scoped at close.

3

Compound

Quarterly reviews against the original thesis. We escalate or de-escalate involvement based on what the company actually needs next.
