IRVC Approves New Structure for Its Specialized Commissions
The Board of Directors of the Iranian Venture Capital Association (IRVC) has formally approved a revised structure for its commissions. The new framework consists of seven commissions aligned with specific member groups and one functional commission. Each commission is tasked with serving as a strategic and operational extension of the Association, helping to implement its broader mission.
A More Targeted Response to Member Needs
Dr. Abbasali Karshenas, Secretary of IRVC, emphasized that the new structure is designed to strengthen collaboration, expand membership, and better address the unique needs of various member segments.
“By redefining membership categories and creating corresponding commissions, we aim to build a more cohesive and responsive network for financing innovation in Iran,” he noted.
The seven specialized commissions will:
Host regular meetings and policy dialogues
Advocate for member concerns
Propose regulations, tools, and policy solutions
Recommend training programs and capacity-building initiatives
Facilitate knowledge exchange and peer support
Dr. Karshenas added that an Association’s effectiveness is rooted in active participation:
“Any professional organization relies on its members’ engagement. We believe that by designing functional and decentralized commissions, we are creating the structures necessary to elevate member influence and drive meaningful change in the innovation finance ecosystem.”
Legal Affairs Commission: Building the Legal Backbone
In addition to the seven specialized commissions, a functional commission titled ‘Legal Affairs and Contracts’ (Arbitration Chamber) was introduced. This responds to increasing member demand for legal clarity, contract standardization, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
“We recognized the urgent need for a dedicated platform to address legal issues and provide arbitration services within our ecosystem,” Karshenas said. “This commission will help strengthen legal infrastructure while paving the way for IRVC’s own arbitration body.”

Commission for the Development of Research & Technology Funds
