In 2002, the IC Foundation collaborated with Harvard Business School and McKinsey & Company to conduct a study of the financial returns on $72 million of IC member investments over 10 years. The HBS/McKinsey study found that treated as a hypothetical portfolio, companies invested in through IC generated a 5% and a 14% return, based respectively on a buy-and-hold strategy or on an "additional round investment and liquidation after lock-up" strategy. The study included data from 110 IC member investments. The study was published in Stanford's Journal of Social Innovation, Harvard Business School's Working Knowledge, The Hard Numbers on Social Investments, and the McKinsey Quarterly, A Halo for Angel Investors.
