InvestFest Network VC is a venture capital firm linked to the InvestFest conference brand, with offices in Sherman Oaks, New York, and Limassol.
InvestFest Network VC
InvestFest Network VC emerged from InvestFest, a financial literacy conference founded by Ian Dunlap and others that has held events in Atlanta, New York, and London since 2019. The conference franchise built a following through social-media marketing and partnerships with figures like financial educator and author Robert Kiyosaki, who has spoken at its events. The firm's venture arm invests in early-stage companies, with a disclosed focus on technology, media, and consumer startups that align with the conference's audience of aspiring investors and entrepreneurs. The firm operates across three offices: Sherman Oaks, New York, and Limassol. The Cyprus presence points to potential European or Middle Eastern capital sourcing or operational flexibility, though the firm has not publicly detailed its deployment strategy. No named portfolio companies, fund size, or team members are publicly confirmed beyond the brand's association with InvestFest as an event organizer. InvestFest Network VC has not disclosed its AUM, number of professionals, or portfolio companies. The firm's public communications center on the conference franchise rather than investment track records. No verifiable investment activity or recent operational event was found in public sources.
