iNetworks maintains a philosophy of empowered partnership; one that allows us to bring our full resources to bear in support of the development of an idea. Our commitment follows our money. It flows seamlessly to areas of growth pains, market hurdles, technology challenges, and other roadblocks to emerging companies. And it produces a close bond with a company’s founders that opens value-adding communication pathways far more effectively than traditional private equity.
Applying For Funding
Thank you for your interest in iNetworks. We look forward to reviewing your company for possible funding.
We review EVERY submission, regardless of the source. We also respond to EVERY submission, whether or not we believe your project may be a fit with our group. We appreciate your patience in allowing two to four weeks for us to respond to you.
Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure
Given the large number of unsolicited funding applications that we receive, we are not in a position to sign a Confidentiality Agreement (CA) or Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with respect to your initial submission.
