IVP

IVP is a venture capital firm founded in 1980 that invests in high-growth technology companies. Its strategy concentrates on growth-stage rounds, typically entering at Series B once a company has established product-market fit and is positioned to scale, while also considering opportunities across other funding stages. The firm reports having backed more than 400 companies since its founding, of which over 135 have gone public.

Sector coverage spans AI, application software, enterprise infrastructure, fintech, digital health, gaming and consumer internet. Investments are made selectively; the stated rationale is that a narrower portfolio permits hands-on involvement with each company rather than passive capital provision.

Support beyond the cheque draws on a team that combines investors with experienced operators and a wider network. Areas of assistance include strategic finance, hiring and recruiting, board management, communications, fundraising, product management and go-to-market. The model rests on close collaboration between investors and operators in service of ambitious founders building high-growth technology businesses.
