A team with substance and soul.
Institutional Venture Partners ® (IVP) supercharges growth in breakout companies, converting momentum into market dominance.
Our work begins at critical states of inflection. We have a knack, an obsession for spotting legendary companies before the rest of the world appreciates them. We live, breathe and supercharge growth. We help founders defy limits, command industries and cement their place at the top.
We’re deliberate by design—backing just a dozen companies each year, almost exclusively at the Series B. And our focus allows us to go deep into each company and its business.
Backed by the full weight of our team, we unlock pivotal growth by activating the right expertise at the moments you need it most. We’re engaged partners, serving as a proactive sounding board and answering your call as a counselor and confidant.
Our team is nimble and knowledgeable. Our standards are high, our egos are low and our network runs deep. We’ll support, encourage and challenge you. We speak with respect and candor and act thoughtfully and purposely.
While our track record is five decades strong, our focus is on the horizon. From emerging to enduring market leadership, we look out so you can look ahead. Undaunted.
