Growth-stage investor at IVP, helping scale breakout companies into market leaders. Lim has a strong track record of investing in and supporting category-defining technology companies, such as Discord, UiPath or Slack.
Alex Lim invests in companies at the critical growth stage where they either scale to billions or plateau and fail. He backed Discord when it had 50 million users and watched it grow to 500 million. His portfolio includes UiPath and Slack, companies that mastered the transition from startup to global leader under Alex Lim's guidance.
As a partner at IVP, Alex Lim works with founders who face the challenges of scaling from millions to billions in revenue. Lim helps them optimize go-to-market strategies, build resilient organizations, and navigate late-stage venture decisions. Alex Lim's current focus includes AI infrastructure and developer tools companies that show potential for massive scale.
You'll learn Alex Lim's framework for identifying when startups will scale versus when they'll stagnate. Alex will share the operational decisions that Discord, UiPath, and Slack made during their critical growth phases and show you how to avoid the common mistakes that kill scaling companies. How do you know when your company is ready to scale aggressively?
