Step 1
Education Program with Mentorship
The Education Program is a comprehensive business initiative that forms the backbone of our mission to catalyze positive social impact. This approach not only enhances their chances of success but also fosters innovation and creative problem-solving. Startups may repeat the education program as many times as needed until they are ready to move on to the Fellowship Program.
Alumni May Apply For A $25K Startup Grant
Step 2
Fellowship Program with Mentorship
The Fellowship Program is an immersive and intensive initiative designed to prepare startups to launch. After six months, fellows finish with a developed customized Startup Launch Packet. A proprietary and innovative way for startups to have every aspect of their business mapped out and ready to build the day they receive their Startup Traction Funding.

Step 3
Startup Traction Funding
Investors seek specific milestones and signs of traction in startups before they invest. Startups need to demonstrate product validation, which can include a working prototype and early adopters, to prove market fit and address real problems. Reaching these milestones can be challenging for startups, particularly without financial backing. Our funding provides startups with essential financial support to achieve the milestones that investors seek before they commit.
Step 4
Research & News
IIF conducts thorough research on startups that receive Startup Traction funding of $50k or more. This research encompasses a comprehensive evaluation of the startup's impact on society, an assessment of the risks they have successfully navigated, a careful examination of their traction and growth metrics, and the collection of data to substantiate their investment valuation. Our partner, GatherVerse News doesn't just report the news; it showcases the innovative solutions and impactful work of IIF-supported startups.
