journey so far

IDEX's 13 year journey of creating impact and being human capital investor.

3rd chapter begins.

IDEX 1.0

In 2010, Bob Pattillo and Erika Norwood founded the IDEX Fellowship, backed by Gray Matters Capital. Initially, the Fellowship was a 10-month experience.

This OG version of IDEX was like a global bootcamp for aspiring social entrepreneurs. It was an intense, hands-on, globe-trotting adventure, where fellows worked on high-impact projects with local social enterprises, while immersing themselves in new cultures and communities. The Fellowship wasn't just about learning, it was a crash course in empathy, grit, and impact.

IDEX 2.0

IDEX 2.0's six-month Fellowship was the backbone of their offerings, but they also threw in some consulting services for good measure. They became the Swiss Army knife of social impact, offering consulting services in research, social innovation design, and capacity building in organizational, professional, and personal development.

When COVID hit, IDEX pivoted to a fully virtual model. The Fellowship went online.

IDEX 3.0

Erika Norwood, the OG founder of IDEX, decided to pass on the bait to Sagar Tandon to revive IDEX and give it a new paint.

IDEX is leveling up once again. IDEX 3.0 is all about reimagining capitalism & regenerative finance, with a focus on talent of tomorrow, impact investors, venture builders, and capital allocators. The IDEX Fellowship is morphing into the (new) IDEX Accelerator, a bootcamp for the regenerative financiers, impact talent, the disruptors, the mavericks who want to shake up the status quo. Get ready for a ride! 🚀
