Inclusion. Innovation. InclusifAI.
InclusifAI exists to make funding more inclusive and accessible so founders can spend less time fighting for access and more time building.
We also work closely with funders and ecosystem leaders who want better outcomes but often lack consistent, usable signals that support fair decisions at scale.

We're a team of immigrants and children of immigrants who've each navigated new countries, gatekept systems, and unspoken rules.
We know what it feels like to be capable and prepared while still being forced to prove you belong. That shouldn't be the starting point.
We're building funding infrastructure that gives founders clearer pathways and gives partners better signals. We work closely with founders, funders, and ecosystem leaders who understand that good intentions aren't enough. The system needs structure, transparency, and information that's actually usable.
The future of innovation should reflect the full diversity of our society, including underrepresented and historically excluded founders such as women, racialized, Indigenous, LGBTQ2S+, disabled, and newcomer entrepreneurs.
We're not waiting for permission to build that future.

We start with what founders actually need: clarity on what "ready" means and a structured way to show it.
Most funding platforms are directories. We're infrastructure. That means we focus on making expectations clear, progress trackable, and information reusable. Founders shouldn't have to rebuild their story from scratch for every application, pitch, or program.
We also track what the system isn't measuring: where strong founders get stuck, which signals actually predict success, and what opportunity cost looks like when funding decisions rely on pattern matching instead of performance data. This intelligence layer makes it possible to see gaps that have been invisible and to quantify what gets missed when access depends on exclusive networks.
Our approach: reduce friction for founders, improve signal quality for funders, and make outcomes measurable for everyone who wants the system to work better.

Founders navigating funding
Underrepresented and historically underestimated founders, including women, racialized, Indigenous, LGBTQ2S+, disabled, and newcomer entrepreneurs. They're building strong companies and need structured clarity to move faster without burning out on guesswork.Funders and investors
VCs, angel networks, grant makers, and impact investors who want better deal flow and clearer signals. They know pattern matching leaves talent on the table and want infrastructure that connects them to founders they would otherwise miss.Ecosystem partners
Accelerators, incubators, community organizations, and service providers who want their programs to reach the founders they were designed to serve and need data to show what's working and where gaps remain.Government and economic development
Federal, provincial, and municipal governments, along with economic development agencies. They're investing in innovation and economic participation and need transparent, measurable outcomes to show where capital flows, who benefits, and what it costs when access is limited. -
The market is shifting. Transparency is no longer optional.
California's SB 164 requires covered entities to register with the DFPI by March 1, 2026 and report demographic data starting April 1, 2026. In October 2025, Canada announced $660.5 million over five years for Women and Gender Equality Canada, with Minister Rechie Valdez stating: "When everyone has an equal chance to succeed, Canada becomes stronger, safer, and more prosperous. It's not just the right thing to do, it builds a strong Canadian economy."
At the same time, AI is reshaping how decisions get made across industries. If the people building, training, and funding AI systems don't reflect the diversity of the people those systems will affect, we'll automate and amplify existing bias at scale. Full participation isn't just about fairness or missed economic opportunity anymore. It's about who shapes the technology that shapes our future.
Regulators are demanding transparency. Governments are investing in participation. Technology is accelerating. The performance data proves opportunity cost. What's missing is infrastructure that makes change possible.
That's what we're building.
Meet Our Founder
Argentina Beltran founded InclusifAI after spending over 20 years in the boardroom watching who gets funded and why.
She built her career across Fortune 500 companies like Johnson & Johnson, Fidelity Investments, Royal Bank of Canada, HSBC, and Scotiabank, working in financial services, nonprofit, and life sciences. She saw who had access, who didn't, and how often pattern matching was treated as sound judgment.
She knew the pattern had to break.
InclusifAI exists to bridge the gap between founders and funders by bringing lessons from the other side of the table to the people who've been locked out of them.
Argentina comes from a long line of entrepreneurs. Her biggest inspirations are her grandmother and mother, who both built successful businesses with no formal education. They used lived experience, grit, and community ties to navigate entrepreneurship, create stability, and take care of people around them. That shaped Argentina’s belief that historically underserved and underestimated founders, when given real access to tools, resources, and clear pathways, can build success beyond measure and they always share their success by looking after their communities.
She launched InclusifAI so underrepresented and historically underestimated founders can move with clarity, confidence, and control and be able to participate in building the future.
