Our connection with clients, strategic partners, and other stakeholders is based on building strong bonds and a long-term perspective. For I’M Ventures, relationships and opportunities are not isolated events but rather developed and sustained over time, grounded in our principles and values.
I'M Family Business
Family-Owned Business Management
I’M Ventures was founded in a family business realm. Succession was part of our founder´s professional background, which is why we employ a straightforward and results-oriented approach, tailored to business leaders. Our focus is on the primary challenges faced by family businesses, such as strategic aspects, governance, succession, and harmony.
