“Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.”  
- Peter Drucker

Through our extended networks as well as within our own team, Intellecap encounters great business ideas every day. These ideas do not always receive the knowledge, human resource, or financial capital needed to launch into a sustainable and scalable business. 

Intellecap chooses the best of these ideas and supports them with the time, money, and expertise to transform them into businesses which are spun off into new companies once they reach sustainability.

Intellecap’s incubations benefit from the experience of our Investment Banking and Enterprise Development teams. This combination creates a holistic approach to helping businesses align the resources they require to achieve growth. This process includes:

Business Planning: Building a solid plan to ensure financial and operational success

Fund Raising: Helping entrepreneurs access the funds they require to rapidly achieve scale

Human Resources: Coordinating the necessary human resources and in some cases assigning dedicated Intellecap team members to incubate a business

Hand Holding: Ensuring proper resources and input for sustained growth and scale

India Development Gateway  
Facilitating Multiple Bottom-line Investments

India Development Gateway, seedfunded by the Development Gateway Foundation, is a new capital marketplace for social enterprises; building trust, knowledge, quality and networks for simple, efficient and successful equity investments. 

The platform addresses the greatest barrier to micro & small enterprise growth: a lack of access to capital. Although their importance as production, employment and innovation engine is beyond doubt, financing options are limited.

IDG is committed to making successful small-cap deals a reality. To do so, we use innovative technology to cut transaction costs, build vibrant communities for support & knowledge, and support both sides from business plan creation to exit.
