IncuBay Ventures Have a High Likelihood of Success
IncuBay has a consistent track record of success, beginning with IncuBay, L.L.C. and continuing to its first start-up, Achex. We have achieved success even in challenging market conditions and challenging market spaces. This is due to our unrelenting commitment to customer value, business discipline, and integrity.
Proven Business Disciplines
We apply proven methods when we introduce and grow new businesses. By leveraging best-practice disciplines developed and honed through our experience in hundreds of real-world applications, we are able to move swiftly and intelligently through highly complex situations. For example:
- Strategies, success criteria, and priorities are articulated early
- Decisions are based on success criteria
- Business models are holistic and integrated
- Plans are highly targeted, actionable and feasible
- Planning assumptions are clearly spelled out and then tested
- Processes are designed to achieve high quality end results
- Team and individual roles, objectives and rewards are well-defined
- Risks are identified and addressed proactively every step of the way
- Market conditions and customer needs are continually monitored so that course corrections can be made rapidly
This consistent level of discipline, focus and flexibility is our winning approach to ensuring effectiveness, speed, and agility.
IncuBay demands that its start-ups act like start-ups - for example: cash flow is monitored tightly; sourcing deals are negotiated for scalability; "must-haves" take precedent over "nice-to-haves." Every action taken must move the venture closer to its business goals, including a high return on investment for its shareholders.
Partnerships with the Best
We believe the best way to build successful new businesses is to work with proven leaders. Our aim is to develop enduring and mutually beneficial relationships through all of our efforts.
We recruit talented professionals who share our passion for bringing creative ideas to market and who have an established track record of success.

IncuBay, or the ventures it has founded, has been supported by leading firms, including: Cisco Systems; Cooley Godward; Draper Fisher Jurvetson; eONE Global; Exodus; First Data Corporation; Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw; Merrill Lynch; Oracle; PricewaterhouseCoopers; RRE Ventures; Silicon Valley Bank; Sun Microsystems; Totality.
Holistic Approach to Launching New Ventures
There are three critical success factors
required to launch a start-up:
* Viable business idea, model, and plan
* Talented and dedicated management
* Adequate seed funding
IncuBay delivers all three elements as part of its holistic approach to launching new ventures. More commonly, start-ups have one or at most two of these elements in place at the beginning, and then spend valuable time and energy to secure the other vital requirements. IncuBay takes a different approach: we provide all three components upon launch to achieve greater momentum and traction from day one.
