Looking for founders solving real-world problems in ways that resonate with real customers

Portrait
About Eric

I came to IVP not only for what we do but how we do it. We partner with entrepreneurs right as they approach an inflection point—the moment when identifying and equipping an organization with the right ingredients can make an astronomical difference in its trajectory. Together, we’re able to shape the future of high-growth startups and, as a result, the future of our world.

It’s a true privilege to work with entrepreneurs and founders who are pushing the envelope to solve pressing issues that serve their customers. Supporting those founders with hard work is its own reward. My commitment to entrepreneurs is to be available whenever they need me.
