Do I need a business idea to apply?

You don’t need an idea yet, a polished pitch, or a business plan. Every company Icehouse Ventures has backed started with a founder who had a problem they couldn't stop thinking about, and the idea came later.

We are looking for the entrepreneurial qualities and thinking that precede this: the ambition, the grit, and the conviction to build something the world needs before the world knows it yet. If you’ve experienced a problem you’re unable to walk away from, we would love to hear from you.
