The Application Process

Exclusivity Meets Opportunity

At Inferno Capital Group, we maintain an exclusive and selective approach to investments. Our application process is designed to ensure that we partner with founders who align with our mission, values, and investment strategy. While we invite passionate and driven entrepreneurs to apply, we are highly selective, and only a small number of startups are chosen to join our portfolio each year.

We invest in businesses that demonstrate a clear potential for growth, have a strong sense of purpose, and align with our core values.

Success Stories

How We’ve Helped Founders Scale

Scaling a Permian Basin Frac Sand Plant

In one of our early investments, we partnered with a founder who was scaling a frac sand plant in the Permian Basin. Through operational optimization, capital support, and access to key industry contacts, we helped the founder grow the business from a small operation to a major supplier in the hydraulic fracturing industry. Today, the plant delivers between 2,000 and 2,500 truckloads of sand each month, generating millions in revenue.

By providing financial support and strategic guidance, we helped the company expand its operations and secure new contracts. This not only increased revenue but also positioned the company as a key player in the growing renewable energy sector​.

One of our portfolio companies in the media sector was facing challenges in scaling its content distribution platform. We worked closely with the founder to refine the company’s go-to-market strategy, streamline operations, and secure additional capital for growth. Today, the company has expanded its reach and now engages a larger audience across multiple digital platforms
