Navigating the Growth Capital Gap

Ivan is a great friend and co-investor. We have a strong working relationship, several co-investments, and work together to help entrepreneurs where we can. He is always my first call when one of our portfolio companies needs an extension round.

Navigate solves an important problem for companies needing an extension round. They are a trusted, valueadd partner and disciplined with their approach.

I have known Ivan for many years. He is a very thoughtful, passionate, and driven investor who is always insightful and able to identify opportunities and trends before others. I appreciate his understanding of shifting markets, and his uncanny ability to exploit those inefficiencies. Ivan is a unique blend of an investor and advisor, focused on his fiduciary duty to his investors.

I invest with Navigate Ventures for two reasons: Their remarkable GP Ivan - and unique strategy for value creation and risk mitigation in an attractive timeline. I regard Ivan as one of the most knowledgeable and genuinely kind members of the VC community. His deep domain experience, principled investment approach and esteemed network contribute to a niche, resultsdriven portfolio.

Investing in the Navigate I fund provides a unique exposure to the once-in-a-generation modernization of Enterprise infrastructure that is being enabled by B2B Enterprise SaaS. The fund provides access to this highly attractive investment themes, with a highly disciplined investment approach that allows gains to be realized over a short investment horizon.

We have made several deals with Ivan over the last ten years. He is always responsive and thorough when evaluating opportunities with us and is always faithful to his word. Additionally, Ivan consistently provides real insight and advice to our mutual investments and is helpful to the CEO.
