IDEA continues to develop and accumulate diverse resources to help accelerate the growth of our ventures. These resources include experienced mentors, a unique business planning methodology, in-kind services, and the IDEA Gap Fund.
For more information, please check out our specific resource pages:
Gap Funding
The IDEA Gap Fund is a monthly process that awards funding to ventures. The Fund commits up to $10,000 in capital to qualified ventures according to their identified capital requirements.
Business Planning Guide
The IDEA Business Planning Guide is a valuable tool ventures use to help them outline their plans. In it you will map out each step you need to take in order for your venture to mature. These steps, or milestones, may include adding team members, prototyping, marketing, or going after funding.
Service Providers
IDEA works closely with a number of different companies to provide in-kind services to our ventures. These strategic partnerships help ventures accelerate rapidly as resources are plugged in to meet their needs.
Mentors
IDEA Mentors are professionals who volunteer their time to help venture teams develop their companies over time. While Mentors bring specific domain and technical expertise to these relationships, their role is to guide venture teams through the myriad of challenges all start-ups face.
