Internet Venture Group Investments
OK. So let's cut to the chase. What will we invest in and who?We believe that people make businesses. Yes, brilliant ideas and concepts are good. But ideas alone don't make a profitable business. What makes the difference, what's behind every really successful business is a great bunch of people. We have a saying: "If building a business was easy, then everyone would do it." The reality is that building a business is hard work and requires real effort and commitment. Not just cash!
To us the people and their attitude are much more important than a massive business plan costed to within an inch of its life. We're not a bank and this is not Dragons' Den (although we do quite like Peter Jones, he can be quite human at times). At TIVG, we're real people - friendly, approachable, professional investors who can share your passion for a great idea.
We don't care if you've got no experience or if you're on your own. We don't care if you've struggled to get finance or if you're too scared to even ask. Nor do we care if you're up and running but struggling to see the way forward.
Our investment is in the complete solution, you and your business. We will provide all the tools and support you need to turn your idea into a real business.
We invest in online ideas, so your concept needs to be web-based. It can be simple or complex, it just needs to be well thought through and have the wow factor. It needs to be the one that keeps you awake at night. The one you know that if it could be done it would be a real winner.
The one promise we make is that we will never make people feel silly or stupid about their idea. We will give you honest feedback and if it is not for us then we will simply tell you this. We are not here to make 'good TV viewing'. We do care about people's feelings and we promise to listen to every idea presented to us and reply with constructive comments, not 'Sorry, I'm out'.
So, if you've got a great online idea - a product or service - if you're passionate, committed, proactive and realistic, however large or small your ambition right now - we want to hear from you. If you don't ask you don't get, and the worst answer you will get from us would be thank you but no thank you - your pitch to us costs nothing but your time.
