Innov8 Global Ventures
... I8GV finds, develops & connects cross-border startups like nobody I've ever seen. Consumate, and inspiring!
Phil Wickham, former CEO of The Kauffman Fellowship
What
We work in hard-to-reach corners of the globe ... places with historical technology prowess but less developed innovation ecosystems
- We help launch big idea startups from developing countries (mostly CIS/Balkans/RU) into western markets
- We come in early (pre, seed, series A)
- We aren't afraid of heavy lifting, shaping product, finding cross-border market fit
- Focus on deep tech & things that change the world (for the better)
How
We know what's big ... and what will be even bigger
- In developed markets, we mentor inside top accelerators + invest into their startups (along with other top funds). Best practices, trends.
- In developing markets, we know how to spot & support hot emerging startups, map their tech + team <> unmet need/impact.
- We work hard & build community ... which, in turn, recommends other great startups
Why
It's connecting economies - not separating them - that brings peace
- ... and not a small amount of prosperity!
- It's fun & super hard
- We get to work with intelligent, soulful, amazing people ...
- And help them build BIG things that truly matter

Put on awesome events, brew lots of coffee, and build communities that are REAL, that inspire & support. 500+ advisors & mentors (rock stars who have been known to do 'world tours.' Usually sold-out, well in advance, and rightfully so).
