Incite

Incite.org, founded by Swati Mylavarapu and Matt Rogers, is a unique hybrid organization that combines venture capital, philanthropy, and civic advocacy to drive positive global change. Their mission is to support bold, innovative entrepreneurs and activists who are working on underfunded and crucial challenges, particularly in areas like climate change, social justice, and economic opportunity. Incite operates through three primary branches: Incite Ventures, which provides catalytic capital to mission-driven startups with the potential to scale and make a significant impact; Incite Labs, a nonprofit arm that funds charitable and educational initiatives through grants and program-related investments; and Incite Politics, which supports political initiatives and candidates that aim to disrupt the status quo and promote diverse leadership. The team at Incite is deeply committed to fostering long-term relationships with the founders and organizations they support, offering not just funding but also mentorship, strategic advice, and access to a wide network of resources. Their investment philosophy focuses on finding and nurturing ideas that have the potential to create significant, lasting change. This approach has positioned Incite as a powerful force in impact investing, enabling them to back ventures that are not just profitable but also socially and environmentally responsible​.
