What Our Partners Say
Ivan has been a big part of our success over the past few years. He played a critical role in helping us close our recent financing and securing our company’s future. He is there for his companies in good times and bad and always puts the interest of his companies first. I look to Ivan as a business partner, investor and feel lucky to count him as a friend.

We’ve really enjoyed working with Ivan and Navigate Ventures. Ivan is always quick to offer pragmatic advice and insights to help us prepare for our next stage of growth and to improve our passion in the market. He’s been extremely helpful and accessible.
Dawn Salvucci-Favier

Every Founder would benefit from a fund like Navigate Ventures: a fund who loves and looks for companies at your stage with your precise business model, who share your passion and- appreciates your domain expertise and business acumen.. As former operators, the team at Navigate knows all businesses encounter bumps, while believing as we do, that we can execute and will win.
