Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the free newsletter and IB Pro?
The free Substack newsletter covers the biggest deals and news each week. IB Pro adds exclusive research reports, a deeper deal flow feed, quarterly briefing calls, and priority event access — for readers who need more than the headlines.
Who is IB Pro for?
Defense investors (VC, PE, growth), startup founders raising capital or tracking competitors, defense primes and contractors monitoring the competitive landscape, and policy and government professionals tracking private sector activity.
Is there a free trial?
Email us at hello@industrialbasealpha.com and we'll give you a sample of what Pro content looks like before you subscribe.
Can my whole team subscribe?
Yes. We offer discounted multi-seat rates for teams. Contact us for pricing on 3+ seats.
How does Institutional differ from Pro?
Institutional adds direct access to IBA — invite-only events, breakout sessions with experts, investor calls, and advisory conversations. It's for organizations that want to be embedded in the IBA community, not just read it.
