Service-Based Founder Support
Turning Promising Innovations Into Credible Development Opportunities
The GO Vertical ICM Digital Innovation Grant supports early-stage MedTech, FemTech, HealthTech, wearable, and physical-product ventures with structured services rather than unrestricted cash.
Founder Fit
Designed for teams addressing a clearly defined and meaningful problem.
Development
Supports feasibility, requirements, engineering, and execution planning.
Commercialization
Connects product decisions with users, markets, and viable pathways.
Readiness
Builds the evidence founders need for the next partner or investor conversation.
What Makes This Grant Different
The grant is delivered through professional services. That structure allows support to be directed toward the work that can materially improve the selected venture’s feasibility, credibility, and readiness for execution.
Current Grant Structure
For the 2027 program, the selected venture may receive up to $20,000 in services. The award is not a cash payment. Scope is defined around the company’s stage, priorities, and highest-value development needs.
Who Should Consider Applying
The strongest fit is a founder or team with a meaningful problem, a product-based solution, a willingness to validate assumptions, and a clear commitment to moving beyond the idea stage.
