The enterprise pays our fee. The talent is paid in full, at the rate the talent asked for. We do not commission. We do not skim. We do not negotiate against the people we represent. This is the structural fix that makes everything else possible.
What we do
Three categories. One CXO.
AIVC's work clusters across three practice lines. Each is operated by the same founder, under the same methodology, on the same fee model — the enterprise pays; the talent is paid in full.
01
Partnership Architecture.
Enterprise-to-talent partnerships architected to survive legal, finance, and renewal. Full deal architecture with the commercial logic that determines whether a program gets funded a second time.
Services
Enterprise Deal Structuring
Commercial Strategy for Cultural Investment
Renewal Architecture
Proof
Project Legacy with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Multi-year partnership in active proposal.
02
Institutional Athlete Placement.
Matching athletes to institutional objectives, not bookings. For public health agencies, foundations, universities, and Fortune 100 impact teams — buyers who need credibility they cannot purchase directly.
Services
Institutional Talent Sourcing
Channel Architecture for Institutional Procurement
Narrative Stewardship
Proof
Two professional athletes placed with a state public health agency for its Problem Gambling Conference.
03
Live Program Architecture.
Experiences engineered as business systems, not moments. Rooms designed to produce pipeline, content, data capture, and partnership entry points that outlast the night itself.
Services
Executive Program Design
Cultural Platform Curation
Festival & Live Event Talent Architecture

The philanthropy practice
Because the legacy was always the point.
AIVC builds the operating structure behind athlete and institutional philanthropy — translating personal conviction into durable programs, trusted partnerships, and measurable community outcomes.
From formation through launch and ongoing administration, the work protects the principal's intent while creating the discipline required for a foundation to endure beyond a single season or moment.
