How we operate
Alumni-first, not alumni-only
The imec.istart network is the fund. 80%+ of Fund I is reserved for its alumni. The rest: exceptional founders we meet along the way.
Lead or co-lead, move fast
Only two general partners. We are the investment committee. No associates, no escalations, no waiting. When you need a decision or want to talk something through, you get us directly. We move quickly because we can.
Prepare you for what's next
We help companies level up on corporate governance without making it corporate, prepare for due diligence before it matters, and position you properly for the next fundraising round. The companies that scale do the boring work well.
Honest feedback over false comfort
We're here to sharpen your thinking, not affirm it. If your assumptions don't hold up to scrutiny, we'll tell you why. If we disagree with your approach, we'll explain our reasoning. Good decisions come from rigorous thinking, not consensus.
