When IVP was founded in 1980, there were less than 100 venture firms managing a total of $2 billion. Today, there are more than 700 firms managing over $250 billion. Capital is important, but what distinguishes venture capital and growth equity firms today is the expertise of the partners and the resources that they provide to help their portfolio companies succeed. IVP's partners collectively have more than 100 years of venture capital and operating experience.
