Portfolio Field Trips: Ivo Edition
Portfolio Field Trips is a series from Blackbird, going deep on one portfolio company at a time.
Each edition is hosted by a different Blackbird portfolio company and built around: an unscripted look inside the company, the thinking behind how they actually make decisions, and career progression opportunities as a launchpad, not a ladder.
This edition: Ivo
You'll get to meet:
Imogen Wirth - Customer Success Manager at Ivo. Former advertising creative turned commercial lawyer turned legal tech CSM!
Ling Ye - Head of Legal Engineering at Ivo. Ling started as Legal Counsel before leading their legal engineering division.
What to expect:
Join us for a panel and networking evening a company who knows all about scaling fast and building strong teams at the same time. You’ll get a real look at the environment, the pace, and what it takes to succeed.
We’ll cover:
How they think about the world, not just what they do. The reasoning behind Ivo's biggest calls.
A deep dive into their teams, and what it's like to be in them.
Real stories of people who've grown inside the companies. Plus how they structure for scale, what it takes to thrive in hyper-growth, and the real work of building strong teams.
1:1 time to meet both teams and ask real questions.
This isn’t a sit-and-listen session, the floor is open, so bring your real questions and get into the details that matter to you. Followed by networking, nibbles and drinks.
This is for you if:
You've got a hunch you'll build something of your own one day. Come see what it actually looks like inside a company that's scaled from zero to a category-defining business, the calls that got them there, and the ones that didn't work.
You like staying close to what's happening inside fast-growing companies. A real window into how a high-growth startup thinks and makes decisions.
You're part of the Blackbird portfolio and curious how other portcos operate. Come see how another portco builds, decides and scales, and meet the people doing it.
Why this, why now
