For founders
From funding to fellowships
Funding
If you're ready to fundraise, we're ready to back you. If you're not yet ready to fundraise, we're also ready to back you. We can just write a check, or we can offer a tailored advise-to-invest program, which is specifically designed for fractional founders who need a thought partner to help validate their ideas part-time before committing full-time.
Fractional fellowship
The Fractional Fellowship helps fractional founders transform part-time projects into high growth, venture-scalable and (eventually) full-time startups with bespoke support. This is a part-time 3-month program tailored to provide you with capital, curriculum and community.
Pop-up board
The pop-up board is a unique 45-minute session where founders can present to a handpicked group of seasoned operators and executives, who have led teams as C-Suite at some of the world's top companies. This is your chance to ask your toughest strategic questions, get tailored advice, and learn what it’s like to engage with a real board of advisors.
Founders' prompt library
Crowdsourced from the best founders in Silicon Valley, IOVC has compiled the largest AI prompt library optimized for founders – especially fractional founders. This is not just another collection of prompts. It’s the largest, most comprehensive, and founder-centric prompt library ever built.
Tactical tips
Every week, we answer one of the top questions from early stage founders, covering 3 tactical tips for how to build faster and better. We cover topics with "how to's" for: finding founder market fit, getting to product market fit, developing pitch strategies, putting together market sizing, building a pricing playbook, working with design partners, pivoting with purpose, constructing effective buyer profiles, converting sales calls into revenue, running founder-led sales and more.
