VC-as-a-Service

A complete venture capital fund solution, designed and managed for you.

VC-as-a-Service is built for capital owners who want to deploy into venture capital through a dedicated, professionally managed structure, without building an internal fund management team.

The Service

IMX designs, establishes and manages the fund from the ground up.

The service can support a full venture capital fund, a thematic strategy, a sovereign or development mandate, a corporate venture programme, or a dedicated investment vehicle for specific strategic objectives.

The client provides the capital mandate, strategic objective and investment priority. IMX builds and operates the structure required to execute it.

How it works
01

Define the objective

IMX works with the client to understand the intended outcome, target market, sector focus, geography, capital size, risk appetite and strategic purpose of the fund.

02

Design the fund

IMX develops the fund mandate, investment thesis, portfolio construction logic, governance framework, operating model and provider structure.

03

Establish the structure

IMX coordinates the legal, regulatory, administrative, banking, compliance and provider workstreams required to establish the fund.

04

Manage the fund

IMX manages the regulated fund framework, sourcing, due diligence and investment process, governance, compliance, risk oversight, reporting, ongoing lifecycle and exit.

Example mandates

Family office

Wants structured venture exposure without building an internal VC team. IMX designs the fund around its preferred sectors, geographies and risk profile, then manages sourcing, selection, governance, reporting and the fund lifecycle.

Sovereign fund or development bank

Wants to deploy capital into venture investments that support technology, AI or sector development in a specific country or region. IMX designs the strategy, structures the vehicle and manages around both financial return and development objectives.

Corporate

Wants to invest in emerging technologies connected to its business priorities, without building a full internal venture platform. IMX designs and manages a dedicated venture fund covering strategy, investment process, governance, reporting and portfolio oversight.
