Our focus industries have in common high secular growth rates and the continuing emergence of new companies with new ideas from bright, dedicated entrepreneurs. The business expertise of our General and Limited Partners is extensive and includes the ability to analyze and respond quickly to potential investments. We are unlikely to invest in retailing, consumer, financial services or real estate ventures.

As with all institutional investors, we eventually want liquidity for our investment. Our typical exit has been through an initial public offering, though increasingly mergers have been a route to liquidity.

IVT was acquired by Boston Scientific (BSX) in 2001.
