IKA Activate is a network of networks that Iva Kaufman Associates hosts and leverages. IKA Activate helps impact entrepreneurs, founders, builders, investors, family offices, and philanthropists make progress on the world’s most seemingly intractable problems.
Every person who joins brings not only their own insight, expertise, and connections to the table, but also their own reachable network which they are willing to selectively activate. IKA Activate is a curated, ready-to-activate community of impact-oriented experts, connectors, investors, channel partners, and scalers that people leading ventures truly need.
Six steps, always in this order – batched and repeatable, whenever a project calls for it.
Shared with IKA, clearly framed (with IKA assistance if needed).
IKA selects a short, relevant list of Activators and shares an anonymized version of the ‘ask’.
Activators respond with an offer of interest, expertise, or a proposed potential connection.
The client reviews anonymized offers and decides who to connect with – one or several, depending on what the situation calls for.
Once both parties agree to the anonymized descriptions, full documentation is shared and the introduction is made.
If the project is bigger than one cycle covers, further opportunities are secured, reviewed, and activated.
