Why iNovia?
Our team at iNovia is passionately focused on building great technology companies. We do this by backing exceptional entrepreneurs and helping them realize their dreams. We believe that founders are an inextricable part of building early stage companies, and that hired guns rarely work. As entrepreneurs ourselves, all of us have experience as founders or operators in early stage technology companies in the industries we seek to invest in. In addition to capital, we bring these experiences as well as our respective domain expertise and networks with us to help the entrepreneurs we back succeed.
We manage relatively small venture capital funds, so that means we make our money when entrepreneurs and our investors make money (not on massive fees). We are not afraid to lead deals or invest alone. We like to make relatively small investments in seed stage companies that require limited capital to reach value creating milestones. Once these milestones are reached, we have the capability to follow-on in later rounds and offer capital to scale businesses and accelerate their growth. We have an outstanding network of angels, strategic partners and venture firms that we can draw on as co-investors and advisors. In any case, we don’t let our fund economics dictate terms of a round, but prefer to let the companies’ capital requirements drive round size. Speaking of terms, we believe in standard terms like those used by the NVCA (and soon supported by the CVCA). If this sounds like a team that you want to work with, please feel free to contact us.
