IFL Ventures has launched!

01.6.2018

We are excited to announce a new specialised division of InterFinancial; IFL Ventures. IFL Ventures is a specialist corporate advisory division focusing on IP-Rich enterprises with a value of between $1m-$20m, in contrast to InterFinancial’s focus on the mid-market range of $20m to $250m. IFL Ventures is being led by Graeme McKellar and supported by the greater InterFinancial team.

IFL Ventures will specialise in strategic growth advice, hands-on growth support, and mergers & acquisitions as well as capital raising projects.

Graeme is an experienced entrepreneur and business advisor who supports his clients with more than a decade’s worth of international hands-on experience in growth strategy, acquisitions, capital raising, restructures and shareholder exits.

He has worked with IFL Venture’s parent company, InterFinancial Corporate Finance, managing SME transactions in IP-rich and/or tech markets over the past several years.

Graeme’s strong tech and software background gives him a keen eye for identifying, unpacking and highlighting the value in IP-rich and/or tech companies.
