Mission
Established in 2014, ilipa Ventures Ltd is a private investment company with a difference. Our prime objective is to enrich the lives of the people who engage with us, whether it be directly or indirectly.
The precepts
These are the precepts, which define our approach to building successful businesses. Because at the end of the day, business is all about people, and people are most productive when they are empowered and truly enjoy what they are doing.
We work with founders, inventors and entrepreneurs to help them build their dreams, to achieve their goals and to lead happy, purposeful, enriched lives.
Our vision for ilipa Ventures is to create interesting, profit centric businesses which impact the world in a positive way and in so doing serve as vehicles for the team members, staff and participants within the business to lead meaningful lives and to achieve their personal and professional goals.
Our portfolio is crafted to ensure we enrich the lives of the people who work within it. Fundamentally, we invest in, sponsor, or create businesses which interest us, where we have domain experience, and or which support other projects within the portfolio. Digital Tech, Luxury Consumer Products, Agriculture, Fintech, Blockchain, Tech enabled products and really any areas where there is genuine innovation and or novelty.
Although there are exceptions, for the most part we try and create and or identify 'born global' opportunities. Projects which span borders, reach a greater number of customers and deliver services to a non-local primary market.
No Go Areas
There are certain sectors we specifically do not invest in, principally those related to smoking, manufacture or distribution of weapons, directly related to fossil fuel exploitation and or which lead to major deforestation.
Copy Cat Fatigue
Other areas we typically avoid are endeavours which focus on, or revolve around, Multi-Level Marketing, speculating in cryptocurrencies with no legitimate "use case" (as opposed to Blockchain) and unimaginative, me-too / copycat digital platforms, i.e "the uber of. . . the Airbnb of. . ."
