The partnership is the platform.
IMS Group is built on a closed network of multi-generational family offices and operating partners. The network sources every deal, underwrites with judgement, and co-invests on every commitment. Closed by invitation, structurally aligned.
New York · The partnership
Closed by invitation.
The partnership is not open. New members are introduced by existing partners and accepted only when there is genuine strategic alignment.
Structurally aligned.
Every partner co-invests on every Group commitment. Alignment is built into the structure, not into a side letter.
Discreet by design.
Principal families remain confidential. Operating partners run mandates and appear on public surfaces. Discretion is part of the contract.
Next-generation family offices.
The Group's anchor capital sits with multi-generational family principals. The next generation runs allocation, not the legacy. Founders' grandchildren who have built operating businesses themselves and now apply that judgement to the family's portfolio.
The network is small by design. Membership is invitation-only. Every family co-invests alongside the partnership and brings their operating network into the shared deal flow. The collective family net worth behind the Group exceeds $100B.
Multi-generational.
Second, third, and fourth-generation principals. The families compound across decades, not investment cycles.
Operator-led.
Each family runs operating businesses. The judgement that comes from building things is what the Group underwrites against.
Confidential.
Family identities remain private. Public surfaces show operating partners, not principal families. Discretion is structural.
Anchor capital.
Families anchor every Group commitment with first-loss positions. The capital base is patient, principal-backed, and aligned across cycles.
Founders and operating partners.
Sector operators.
Founders and senior operators who have built, scaled, and exited businesses in the sectors the Group invests in. They run mandates, take board seats, and pair operating judgement with capital.
Portfolio CEOs.
Operators inside the Group's portfolio companies. They sit at the table with the principals, share deal flow back into the network, and shape how the technology platform is built.
Advisor partners.
Senior figures who advise on specific commitments without running mandates day-to-day. Former regulators, exited founders, and sector experts who lend judgement when the partnership needs it.
Eight markets, one partnership.
What being inside the network means.
The network is the Group's organising principle. Three commitments define membership.
Co-invest on every commitment.
Members commit personal or family capital on every Group commitment. Alignment is built into the structure, not bolted on at the end.
Share deal flow into the network.
Members bring proprietary opportunities into the shared partnership. The network is the platform; the platform is the deal flow.
Honour the discretion contract.
Principal families remain confidential. Operating partners are visible. The boundary is the contract that makes the network defensible.
