International Ventures Associates, Ltd. ("iVA") provides business development advice to companies in Telecommunications and Information Technology industries. Started in 1991 by Stephen Day, IVA is located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and has affiliate offices in France, the U.K., Japan and Mexico. We believe our assignment is not complete until the client has acted upon and benefited from our recommendations. Therefore, we work closely with  clients, preferably as a part of their team, to transfer our knowledge and skills. Most importantly, we ensure strict confidentiality, at every stage of our work by a tight discipline of not discussing any aspect of  our client's work outside IVA. iVA is a new breed of telecommunications consulting company that bridges the gap between management consulting at one end of a client's need, and investment banking at the other.
