ICAP Funding Partners

Empower your startup clients to create business models that get funded

ICAP helps early-stage entrepreneurs develop winning, customer-focused business models and go-to-market strategies. We prepare companies for participation in university, regional, and domain-specific accelerators and, ultimately, venture investment. Offered state-wide, ICAP provides Lean Startup-based instructional programs—as conducted by the National Science Foundation’s I-Corps program—as well as business counseling services and access to a broad network of subject-matter experts.

A part of George Mason University and the Virginia SBDC, ICAP is part of a state-wide collaborative network that supports startups during the critical initial phases of business development, ensuring that companies make customer-validated market-entry decisions. Our network partners include Virginia-based universities, local and regional accelerators, angel funds, CIT, and other funding groups. Together we are developing Virginia’s next generation of entrepreneurs and businesses.

The Role of Partner Organizations

The role of a partner organization is to promote ICAP to the early-stage technology startups and entrepreneurs in your ecosystem.

Ongoing support and assistance are provided by ICAP, as well as the regional SBDC office, as needed. This includes specific, post-introductory course roadmaps that are continuously updated as companies make progress.
