How do we help you
Launching, boosting or further developing a new business venture is a complex challenge. One out of ten new companies ends up successfully consolidating; however, around 80% have failed by the fourth year.
At IVC, we have been developing new business ventures for over 45 years. Those projects are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, caused both by market changes and trends and by their internal operation:
- Start-ups and young firms at the right time to expand their business model and grow, while transitioning from start-up to company.
- Mature enterprises seeking to innovate by launching or acquiring new business lines.
- Companies which, in order to continue growing, must go international and compete in markets other than their current arena.
Key challenges
If there is a lesson learned over the years is that a new venture requires resources, tools and a specific methodology.
Talent
Entrepreneurial skills, team & people, market knowhow.
Market
Problem validation, market size, go-to-market model, client KPI's, scalable market.

Services
At IVC we have developed a New Venture's Journey as a method which can minimize operational risk factors and support the progress of projects in a step-by-step manner. We focus on:
1. Start up "Minimum Viable Product"
The validation of the potential of the project. Do you have the right team, product and market? Scalable product? The right timing?
Timing: 6 - 18 months
2. Grow up "Minimum Viable Company"
The next step is from Startup to a young company with the capacity to operate according to a plan and objectives. Do you have sales and marketing processes? Do you have the adequate financial administration, HR and reporting processes?
Timing: 12 - 30 months
3. Scale up
Concept of a consolidated company that is able to capture the market potential efficiently with a sustainable and predictable growth.
