What makes us different
Early engagement

Tools for take-off
We are uniquely equipped to help entrepreneurs accelerate the building of product prototypes, gain early access to customers, take advantage of world-class executive mentoring, and access investors and capital to speedily launch startup companies.
Optimal Growth
Our operation style is to work closely with our portfolio companies and be proactive in providing help when needed. Our experienced team is available to provide mentorship, guidance, and advice on topics ranging from product design, business plans, pricing strategy, recruiting the team, fundraising and marketing.
We ’ve got labs
The types of technologies and companies that we are interested in creating are
early-stage and game-changing. At ISF Incubator, we seek to launch very-early stage companies based on our intellectual property and led by visionary founders.
What we look for
We seek self-starting entrepreneurs that are capable of building their own product and business in core new technologies or new industries. We engage with entrepreneurs that understand the importance of building a long-term sustainable solid business based on new products, customers, and revenue.
Exclusive selection
We are exclusive in our selection of entrepreneurs so that we can build deep, lasting relationships with those entrepreneurs chosen to lead startups. Our goal is to form, incubate and accelerate startup companies through the first phase development of the company, technology, and business so that you can build the first proven prototype or demonstration device – enough to raise venture capital on a larger scale.
