A Unique Secondary Opportunity Rooted in the Boutique Investment Concept
IV1 provides a new perspective for secondary investing under the Boutique Investment Concept, or B.I.C. in short, modeled on focus, collaboration, and shared growth. More than our 11 active and resilient camel-tech startups, IV1 connects you with a thoughtfully selected community of investors, founders, and service partners. You define how you engage, collaborate, and grow within this curated ecosystem toward meaningful relationships and stronger, more sustainable returns.
The Boutique Investment Concept
Our philosophy is built on 3 major pillars: modularity, collaboration, and impact. Through the Boutique Investment Concept, IV1 creates adaptive investment structure, grouping investors, founders, and expert partners around a single aligned vision. This model effectively fuses the flexibility of bespoke investment vehicles with the efficiency of normalized governance and fosters an ecosystem that extends beyond capital to realize effective growth, measurable impact, and a new generation of connected investing.
The IV1 Narrative: From Experience to Evolution
IV1–Secondary Investment Market was born out of a personal journey that its founder, Tarek Roushdy, took through a distinguished corporate career in Oil & Gas to a hands-on role in early-stage investing. Following two major exits in 2017 and 2020, Tarek channeled his operational and strategic expertise into funding 45 startups, building a portfolio founded on real performance and measurable results.
From this portfolio, 11 high-performing ventures were selected carefully, companies that personify the Camel-to-Unicorn potential, where resilience, scalability, technology drive business opportunities, and/or long-term value creation is at the heart.
Based on the Boutique Investment Concept (B.I.C), IV1 evolves further by presenting investors with an exclusive option of curated, validated start-ups inspired by operational insight into proven success through shared commitment toward growth. This is an invitation to join a connected community based on experience, trust, and vision.
