About Icann Ventures
Our Team is Committed to Healthy Living
We seek to partner with honest, talented and hardworking management teams to purchase historically profitable businesses with EBITDA between $1-5 million and a history of 10+ years of operating experience.
Our objective is to generate exceptional investment returns by utilizing, when appropriate, the extensive resources and expertise of our partners to improve and grow our portfolio companies. Generally, Icann creates economic value at its portfolio companies through:
- Organic revenue growth
- High-performance marketing
- Operational improvements that enhance margins and profitability
- Add-on acquisitions
- Debt repayment
We target a segment of the health & wellness market that continues to offer excellent relative value and we understand how to invest in this market and create value at our portfolio companies. We invest personally in every deal and are not constrained by the restrictions of a fund structure.
Our Target Acquisitions
Longevity & Biotech
All around the world, innovators are releasing nanobots, reprogramming nerve signals and applying AI to create exciting and scalable contributions to human Longevity. Longevity science is here; so are the risks and so are the rewards.
CBD & Supplements
CBD sales in the U.S. hit $4.6 billion in 2020, a massive number just two years after hemp-derived cannabinoids were federally legalized. This growth is only expected to accelerate, with a notable forecast projecting a U.S. market of $20 billion by 2025.
Medical Spas & Devices
The global medical spa market is estimated to grow rapidly in the next few years. Primary driver of the market is the increase in use of cosmetic treatment and medicines for beauty enhancement in the developed economies.
Health & Fitness
Despite the challenges brought on by the global pandemic, the future of the fitness industry is a bright one for business owners who are adapting to the changing landscape. The global fitness equipment market is constantly evolving and is expected to reach $14.8 billion by 2028.
