Backbone Funder’s innovators include individuals, for-profit and nonprofit entities. These “creatives” and “innovators” are relatively unknown to the investment community and most often have not received investments nor fully monetized their output or unique assets.
Our strategy is to use impact investments to fund and/or acquire creatives’ and innovators' qualifying assets and monetize these qualifying assets on their behalf. We will fund creatives and innovators sourced from four overlapping economic sectors, see below.
Backbone Funder considers creatives’ and innovators’ works and projects or output as unique assets, which we will selectively monetize on their behalf.
We fund visionary individuals who are independent creatives, inventors, researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, etc.
Funding nonprofit entities may include developers, tech R&D, researchers, universities, colleges, schools, hospitals, indigenous and diverse communities, startups, foundations, museums, galleries, libraries, and non-governmental organizations, etc.
Funding for-profit entities may include startups, small businesses, farmers, cooperatives, communities, and entrepreneurs. Those entities in the bottom half of the economies.
Backbone Funder will fund and/or acquire and preserve culturally important works or projects by innovators of the past, legacies owned by individuals or other entities.
Backbone Funder InvesTech ecosystem specifically focuses on supporting Funds investing in primary to mid market creatives’ and innovators’ collection of works or projects or their unique assets and/or funding the acquisitions of assets that they need to achieve their creative goals. (Explore Our Four Funding Sectors links below for further information.)
Unique assets include material, illiquid, real estate, art, equipment, software, fixed, tangible, one-of-a-kind, research & development, intangible, IP or any combination thereof.
Once innovators’ unique assets are approved by a Fund for investment, we refer to these as qualifying assets. On behalf of Funds’ creative and innovator clients our InvesTech Technologies supports the monetization of their qualifying assets to enhance their financial benefits, including paying royalties where applicable.
