Investment thesis
i5invest positions itself as a founder-centric corporate development firm rather than a traditional M&A bank, built by former founders who have sold their own companies. It argues the traditional M&A process fails emerging tech companies, so it created a bespoke approach aimed at generating successful outcomes at high valuations. The firm emphasizes long-term trusted advisory relationships and optionality over transactional one-offs, leveraging a network of 150,000+ decision-makers and knowledge from hundreds of international exits. Its model is captured by the '5 i's': inspire, innovate, incubate, invest, and internationalize, supporting founders across a broad range of technology sectors globally.
