Eligibility:
Ivyplus is a network formed for
professionals in the Alternative Investment Universe
(AIU) or service providers to AIU. We limit the number
and type of service providers who may attend our events
based on prior history with other networks and experience
with how those networks declined in quality once their
core members left. We do not allow Business to Consumer
service providers into the network.
We are not a group for job hunters
who are not presently employed in the space or career
transitioners.
Competitors:
Competitors are not allowed to
attend.
Event Composition:
Ivyplus runs events in the alternative
investment space. Our membership is composed of Global
Top 50 university alumni who are experienced with other
alumni associations and their best practices. As a result,
we have a target on a per event basis of drawing 75%
industry participants and fund management and 25% service
providers.
Event Etiquette:
Ivyplus networking events are
known for their efficiency and brevity in formal introduction
and over allocation of time for informal networking.
We expect members to be brief in their introductions
or dialogues in group meetings and to sell only their
own services that they deliver, not the services of
consulting or financial supermarkets they represent.
Event Etiquette
- Post Event:
Ivyplus does not tolerate the
following behavior. (1) spamming other members, (2)
soliciting other members for reasons other than the
common event(s) you have participated in unless those
specific members have requested such communications,
(3) harassment of members.
Event Waiting
List for Service Providers:
Ivyplus has overwhelming demand
for participation from service providers. As a result,
we have created a waiting list for service providers
who want to participate in our events. Service provider
participation is judged by the value, strength and diversity
of contacts they bring to the group and re-evaluated
routinely.
Exceptional
Attendees:
Ivyplus has overwhelming demand
for participation from attendees who are looking for
jobs, i.e. job hunters or are in un-related fields.
Exceptional attendance may be allowed on a one-off basis
but is not granting of membership or regular invitation
to group events.
Invitation
Rights - Closed Event:
Invitation rights for closed
Ivyplus events work in the following way: (1) those
people employed by a fund may invite other fund members
or service providers. (2) invited service providers
are subject to a restriction on invitations and may
be excluded even if invited if the number of overall
service providers exceeds 25% of the audience or if
there is a duplication in services offered with other
members. (3) service providers may invite persons employed
by funds, institutional investors or family offices
, etc. (4) service providers MAY NOT invite other service
providers.
Member Directory
and List:
Ivyplus maintains an extensive
database and contact list of persons in the alternative
investment space. The list is not available for circulation
or advertising but is used for event planning. We recommend
that those who wish to contact Ivy Plus members attend
events and develop meaningful relationships through
those events.
Membership
Leaders Composition:
Ivyplus has been formed by alumni
of Global Top 50 universities who are master networkers
and have substantial contacts in the alternative investment
and deal space.

Ivyplus may suspend a member
at any time from participation. Members who are suspended
may re-apply for membership or participation within
3 months of the end of the term of their suspension.
