CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Intel Capital has deployed over $830 million across diverse-led companies since 2015, but this is still competitive institutional VC, not an open grant program.
Nearly 20% of their portfolio has diverse leadership, which reflects selective investment — not broad grant-making. The database labels this a grant, but the source describes equity investment activity, so expect a VC-style process.
WHAT IT TAKES
Confirm your fit in Cloud, Silicon, Frontier, or Devices and that a diverse founder or executive holds a top leadership role — 1 hour
Submit an inquiry or application via Intel Capital's site or portfolio contact channels — 1–2 hours
Engage in Intel Capital's review and due diligence process — Weeks to months
WORTH KNOWING
Intel Capital emphasizes 'value creation' across its portfolio — companies that can benefit from Intel's ecosystem, partners, and supply chain connections may be stronger candidates than those seeking capital alone.
