IGC pioneered the Reverse VC™ model — starting with corporate demand rather than capital deployment. Their ReverseVision platform identifies what Global 5000 companies want to buy, then matches emerging tech founders to those demand signals. Investment flow: Demand → Commercialization → Valuation → Capital → Exit. This approach claims higher success rates, better deal terms, and reduced downside risk by replacing intuition with engineered outcomes.
Likely not a fit for
Traditional software/consumer apps without a clear corporate demand signal; companies that depend on organic consumer adoption without enterprise channels; pure consumer social.
