Management team building

Most young companies struggle to find appropriate management, at the right time. IPSO’s management team building function specifies the human capital requirements and sources experienced and appropriate team members for each spinout.

We also rely on our contact network to source both business development expertise to help with generation of revenue and partnerships during early stages of company development, and project management expertise to ensure efficient execution of business plans. Finally we help founders and early team members to develop their own interviewing and team building skills to facilitate the building of support teams for the CSO and others.

The application of human capital is critical to our ability to create sustainable businesses from IP and our professional team building capability thus represents an important differentiator of the IPSO Ventures model. IPSO’s management team building function is headed up by Simon Haworth, an established headhunter and team builder.
