Backbone Funder’s innovators include individuals and 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.
Backbone Funder provides impact investments in monetizing unique works or projects by visionary innovators and creatives, and support services so they can focus on their creative endeavors.
“Creatives” and “innovators” are diverse individuals and entities (for-profit and nonprofit) found in every community. They are inventive, imaginative, visionary, artistic, inspiring, experimental, and solutions oriented.
Post investment, Backbone Funder and our partners will provide ongoing services to creatives and innovators to maximize the monetization of their assets over time.
Our strategy is to fund and/or acquire creatives’ and innovators’ works or projects and monetize their unique assets on their behalf.
As per an innovator's contract, Backbone Funder has an exclusive agreement to assess, curate, value, acquire, qualify, and on innovator’s behalf underwrite and monetize innovator's output or qualifying assets via IPOs on Backbone's SEC registered security exchange.

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.
