IVS is not an event created by a single company. Venture capital firms, startups, operating companies, PR agencies, and government organizations—members from different organizations bring their respective expertise together to create IVS as one team. Many of the members are themselves part of the startup ecosystem.

People who normally run companies, support their portfolio companies, and launch new businesses step into the role of “creator” only during the IVS period. As they keep attending IVS as participants again and again, many of them eventually find themselves joining the organization without realizing it. The team is assembled anew every year. It lays the foundation for the three days that more than 10,000 participants spend here.
