Incolo's Investments
Here’s a snapshot of startups that our community has asked Incolo to invest in.
New Majority Capital on Wefunder
- Providence, RI
- Close the gap by creating more diverse BIPOC/ Women Business Owners
Solid team filling a major gap — transition ownership of existing businesses to new operators. Additionally, we like their intentional focus on BIPOC & Women Business Owners.
Doughp on Wefunder
- Las Vegas, NV
- Doughp is committed to breaking the stigma around mental health & addiction recovery – one bite at a time!
We met Kelsey through SuperCrowd 2023. The fact Kelsey has been able to navigate the company from extreme losses to just -$10k/mo in a super short period of time, while negotiating deals with large brands is impressive. We like backing founders who make tough decisions and execute quickly. Plus it’s cookie dough. Why not?
Substack on Wefunder
- San Francisco, California
- Substack’s mission is to build a new economic engine for culture.
It’s Substack. While the valuation seemed high at the time, it was still kind of cool to put some small dollars in.
Sully’s Golf & Gather on Mainvest
- Clayton, NC
- Sully’s Golf & Gather LLC is seeking investment to open a premier indoor golf training facility in the Triangle region.
Solid, authentic founders who have built an amazing community. We have no doubt whatever they put their mind to, they will be successful.
Brueprint on Mainvest
- Cary, NC
- Apex, NC’s first craft brewery, Brueprint has been serving their community in the “Peak of Good Living” since 2014. They’re engineered to bring the best of brewing culture and civic engagement together for a lasting impact and great times.
Beer + Revenue Share = You know where we’re drinking and bringing friends to come with us.
Eric is partnered with Lonerider which was started by one of Incolo’s Advisors, Sumit Vohra. Brueprint plans to scale through the East Coast distribution channels Lonerider already has in place while expanding their physical footprint.
HiveTracks on WeFunder
- Creston, NC
- Bees as Biosensors to Track Biodiversity.
Where can you get IoT devices for free… bees. HiveTracks has the largest active, live feed of data governments around the world are paying for and several companies need to meet their sustainability requirements. Not to mention, they have a solid base of 20,000+ beekeepers using their app which constantly feeds the data engine.
Oh and if you’re curious, yea, you can get some of that delicious honey from some of the hives they track in a honeybeer at Booneshine. Imagine the marketplace that may be coming.

Mythic Massage on Honeycomb Credit
- Charlotte, NC
- Mythic Massage provides creative ways for people to reduce pain without medications through the use of movement and advanced bodywork in a space that is aggressively affirming.
Starchive on Wefunder
- Charlottesville, Virginia
- Starchive is a Media/AI platform helping creators protect, preserve & maximize creative assets.
We work with several creators & influencers. It only seemed right to be invested in a product literally powering their content.
HUBB Kitchens on Vicinity Capital
- Raleigh, NC
- HUBB Kitchens (J. Johnson & Company L.L.C.) created ‘co-working’ for food & drink entrepreneurs and his startup landed a collaboration with the REEF & RDU to create the 1st multi-faceted ghost kitchen in an airport in the country.
We’ve been with Jason since he 1st started HUBB Kitchens. His company tied with FemHealth Insights at our joint Fourscore Law x Incolo Feb 15, 2023 event about raising capital from the crowd. Tied specifically in votes for who Incolo should invest $ into.
FemHealth Insights on Wefunder
- Raleigh, NC
- The insights you need to advance Women’s Health through robust data sets and exceptional market research from the leader in women’s health innovation.
Brittany’s startup tied with J. Johnson & Company (HUBB Kitchens) at our joint Fourscore Law x Incolo Feb 15, 2023 event about raising capital from the crowd. Tied specifically in votes for who Incolo should invest $ into. Then Britany proceeded to tell us that the money we were going to invest in her startup should go to Jason’s startup after she learned what HUBB Kitchens does. That move made us fall even more in love with her company.
Offline on Wefunder
- Raleigh, NC
- Offline is a subscription-based restaurant recommendation service that encourages people to disconnect from technology and try a new restaurant each month with family and friends.
David Shaner invited us to support his community round. Plus Offline’s a Tweener and the 1st startup funded by the Tweener Fund to raise from the crowd. Need we say more?
Overplay on Wefunder
- New York, New York
- Overplay lets you turn any video into a game.
The future of interaction with content is gaming. What Overplay has does gives creators and influencers an edge to make more engaging content. We thought this was great for the creators & influencers we know.
VitalFlo on Wefunder
- Raleigh, NC
- VitalFlo helps doctors measure, monitor, and predict their patients’ lung health.
A problem this big needs a solution that is accelerated. Glad to see others think the same. Techstars co-invested $150k in the round.
Isosceles Pharmaceuticals on EquiFund
- Wilmington, NC
- Isosceles is a preclinical stage pharmaceutical company developing intravenous formulations of synthetic Cannabidiol (CBD) with a goal to make these a non-addictive alternative to opioids.
Using CBD to create a non-addictive alternative to opioids was just a no-brainer to us. Also, Isosceles became the largest raise to date offered to the crowd from an NC company (as of late 2022) AND they are located in our Founder’s hometown, Wilmington, NC. How could we not invest?
CytexOrtho on Start Engine
- Durham, NC
-
CytexOrtho solves joint pain at the source and preserves joints, rather than replacing them.
This is a self-preservation strategy for our team. Gotta be able to hit that snowboarding slope late in life.
Saebo on StartEngine
- 17 patents awarded
- $44M in Net Revenue
- Network spanning 6 continents and 40 countries
May 2022, 20+ founders at our Raleigh Founded bootcamp asked us to invest. Saebo provides mobility solutions to those suffering from the #1 cause of long-term disability, stroke.
GoBeep, Inc. on Wefunder
- Greenville, SC
-
Patent-pending blockchain platform to share and revoke personal information
-
6x increase in customer acquisition month-over-month for the last 3 months
We met the team at GoBeep (now Avallano) at Flywheel out of Winston-Salem. We were so inspired by their ability to help veterans, we invested after they went through Incolo’s Test the Waters program. In 2022, they spun down the ‘beer’ side of their operation, choosing to focus on their solution for veterans instead. Yes, their tech could serve both. We like their pick for focus, https://www.avallano.com
Synthesis on Wefunder
- Los Angeles, CA
- Collaborative games paired with complex mental models to challenge young critical thinkers
- Built by the creator of Elon Musk’s Ad Astra School
Most of our team has kids. We want better ways for them to learn together so we invested. + One of our stated beliefs in our Charter is Encouraging Curiosity
Big C Waffles on Mainvest
- Durham, NC
- Existing loyal customer following
- Opportunity to help start a franchise
If you’ve ever met Carl, you have no doubt why we invested. Carl is part of Incolo’s #FounderCommunity, went through Incolo Launch, and his 1st franchised location opened almost immediately after his raise closed. Power of the Crowd.
