General Inception

 
 

General Inception is pioneering company creation as the first Igniter company.  As an Igniter, General Inception brings a new way to partner with scientific inventors to ignite innovation and nurture transformational companies. General Inception becomes a co-founder and brings together domain expertise, seasoned executive talent, infrastructure resources, and capital to nurture and scale growth throughout the entire company journey.

As a Member Venture Capital company in General Inception (GI), Genoa enjoys early access to new companies founded by General Inception. As General Inception builds companies from their earliest inception and uses its vertical integration strategy to efficiently nurture and scale growth from ideation to proof of concept and alpha testing, Genoa is afforded a view over time into highly vetted companies closely aligned with our investing strategy. Our Partner, Vikram Chaudhery, PhD is a Founder of General Inception; Venture Partner Paco Cifuentes, PhD and Chief Marketing Officer Rebecca Galler are also part of the General Inception team, creating additional synergies between Genoa and GI.

 
 
 
 

Genoa’s strategic partners offer us unique and valuable insights into specific markets and highly validated deal flow, as well as additional domain expertise for our portfolio companies during their development journeys.
