Innovation Fund

Innovation Fund is a nonprofit that helps technology startups accelerate their growth through early-stage funding and education. Our goal as pre-seed investors is two-fold: to provide entrepreneurs with the capital, mentorship, and education needed to launch and grow successful companies and to inspire the next generation of innovators. We achieve that by awarding funding to entrepreneurs based on where they stand with their businesses — up to $50,000 “A” award for those in the proof-of-concept stage and up to $150,000 “B” award for those ready to validate their businesses and products. Unlike other funding sources for early-stage, high-growth technology startups, we have built an entrepreneurial ecosystem that provides business owners with a variety of resources that they can benefit from throughout their time as an Innovation Fund portfolio company. These resources provide valuable insights, coaching, and support to help entrepreneurs move their companies closer to commercialization and become more attractive to investors.
