IVE is built to solve the Market Creators' Dilemma and create a robust path to profitability, while cutting the time and cash to reach demonstrated profitability.
It's how market creating ventures need to be built when real profits—rather than paper profits—are the measure of success.
IVE was born out of an applied research program centered at Cornell University’s Johnson School of Business from 2004-2010, and has been developed over the past 15 years in partnership with entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate innovation teams.
IVE harnesses core principles, techniques, and tools of integrative design and systems engineering– the “go-to disciplines” for innovating new, complex systems under high uncertainty with a high level of reliability.
