Investment thesis
IVP positions itself as the first Iraq-based VC dedicated to backing high-potential Iraqi startups and SMEs. It aims to be a trusted access-to-capital partner, a link between regional and international investors seeking exposure to the Iraqi market, and an investment-readiness expert that grooms local companies to become more attractive to venture funding. Beyond capital, IVP offers a value-add model providing startups with knowledge, skills, and access to a network of industry experts and innovation practitioners. A planned Gateway Fund, targeted for 2025, would focus on later-stage Iraqi startups raising pre-Series A and Series A rounds.
