Investment Team

The IPR.VC team is the Best Combination of Industry and Investment Experience

The IPR.VC team is comprised of different backgrounds in media and investment communities. The co-founders have been in business relationships with each other since the 1990s. The team is driven by the passion to make European content entrepreneurs benefit from the media industry disruption and to succeed in global markets.

IPR.VC is an interpreter and interface between creative companies and the financiers, and understands them both.
