Invest. Empower. Grow Together
Incubator & Seed Fund for Cannabis Entrepreneurs
Empowering Cannabis Entrepreneurs from Seed to Success
ISC Growth is more than an incubator — it’s your first investor and lifelong partner. Each year, we handpick a limited number of high-potential cannabis entrepreneurs, providing them with seed funding, strategic mentorship, and direct access to a global investor network.
Unlocking Opportunities in Emerging Markets
We invest in a select group of founders each year
Master the Caribbean’s regulatory landscape, consumer trends, and supply‑chain dynamics.
Develop and validate a prototype with a clear go‑to‑market roadmap.
Refine your pitch deck, build robust financial models, and practice in mock investor panels to secure funding.
Every selected startup is assigned an ISC Growth Mentor — a cannabis industry expert who has successfully navigated regulatory challenges, secured major funding, and built thriving businesses.
We don’t accept everyone. We invest our time, money, and expertise into startups that truly stand out. If you are selected, you will be part of an exclusive group of high-potential founders.
We only invest in a limited number of startups each year.
Once the cohort is full, applications close.
If you're serious about your business, this is your chance.
