In 2020 Ingressive Capital acted as a super-connector for Evolve Credit. Whether we needed introductions to potential team members for recruitment, experienced entrepreneurs for strategic advice, or local banks for partnerships, we knew we could count on IC to find someone on their team to make an intro

Working with Maya has been fantastic. She supports us without causing distractions and advocates for us behind the scenes. When she introduces us to potential partners or customers, the conversations are smooth because she’s already done the hard work of convincing them. We just need to close the deal.
