IVP

IVP, or Institutional Venture Partners, is a San Francisco-based growth equity venture capital firm founded in 1980, one of the longest-running and most consistently high-performing growth-stage venture capital firms in the United States, with more than four decades of investing experience and a portfolio that has generated extraordinary returns across multiple technology cycles. The firm manages more than $8 billion in assets under management and invests at Series B and growth stages with initial checks from $10 million to $50 million in consumer technology, enterprise software, and fintech companies that have demonstrated strong product-market fit and significant commercial traction. IVP's investment approach is deeply focused on the later stages of private company growth, where the firm's ability to accurately assess market sizing, competitive positioning, and financial model quality determines returns. Netflix was backed by IVP before becoming the world's most popular streaming service. Twitter was an IVP portfolio company. Dropbox completed a Nasdaq IPO in 2018 with IVP as a major investor. Slack was acquired by Salesforce for $27.7 billion. Discord, the gaming and community communication platform, is an IVP portfolio company. Robinhood completed a Nasdaq IPO in 2021. Beyond its original investments in Netflix, Twitter, Dropbox, Slack, and Discord, the portfolio includes Snap, Grammarly, GitHub, Klarna, Zendesk, and dozens of additional technology companies across consumer, enterprise, and fintech sectors.
