Elevate Your Startup with Exclusive Consulting Programs
Founders don’t fail because they lack ideas —
they fail because they move too early, too late, or without the right guidance.
ICW® Capital exists to make sure that doesn’t happen.
We offer two distinct programs, intentionally designed for different stages of the founder journey — so you get what you need, when you need it, without wasting time or money.
ICW® Capital Incubator
Connection, education, and access — without intensive consulting
The Incubator is designed for founders who want to be inside the ecosystem, learning how investors think, building relationships, and gaining clarity — without high-touch advisory or tailored consulting.
Best for founders who are:
- Early-stage or building toward traction
- Past idea exploration but not yet preparing to raise
- Looking for connection over customization
- Not in need of legal, PR, or investor consulting
- Wanting access to rooms, community, and education
What You’ll Get:
✔ Investor mindset & readiness education
✔ Founder workshops & programming
✔ Community, visibility & curated events
✔ Access to Cocktails and Capital™
✔ Up to 4 consulting calls
Important to Know
- No formal legal consultation is included
- Founders may ask limited legal questions, answered at a general, educational level only
- Guidance is not tailored to your company or specific situation
- This program does not include PR strategy or investor introductions
Investment: $1,100 for 6 months
👉 If you want connection and proximity — without hands-on advisory — this is the right place to start.
Investor Readiness Lab
High-touch advisory for founders preparing to raise or scale
This program is not for idea-stage companies.
The Investor Readiness Lab is designed exclusively for founders at the Pre-Seed through Series A stage who are building companies with real momentum and clear intent to scale.
Founder Profile
- Pre-Seed to Series A
- Past the idea stage with a validated product or service
- Demonstrated traction (users, pilots, partnerships, or revenue)
- Preparing to raise capital or scale operations
- SaaS, CPG, and social impact–driven companies
If you are still validating an idea, the Incubator is the appropriate starting point
Why the Investor Readiness Lab Exists
Most founders lose time, credibility, and capital by:
- Talking to investors before they’re ready
- Filing IP incorrectly or too late
- Lacking a clear investor narrative
- Missing PR moments that build validation
- Scaling without alignment
This Lab exists to prevent costly missteps at critical moments.
What’s Included in the Investor Readiness Lab
✔ Legal consulting focused on investor readiness & IP strategy
✔ PR strategy and introductions to journalists
✔ Investor Salons — curated, personal introductions to investors
✔ Strategic positioning & narrative development
✔ Ongoing advisory for real-time decision-making
✔ Founder visibility in vetted investor rooms
This is hands-on, high-touch, and selective by design.
Investment: $7,500 for 6 months

How Founders Move Through ICW® Capital
Many founders begin in the Incubator to build clarity and relationships —
and graduate into the Investor Readiness Lab once traction and timing align.
That path is intentional.
You shouldn’t pay for intensive advisory before you’re ready —
but once you are, waiting costs more than acting.
Our Philosophy
Founders shouldn’t lose time or money because no one told them what actually matters — and when.
ICW® Capital prioritizes strategy over hype, timing over pressure, and access with intention.
