(ICC) is a privately held boutique corporate financial services firm incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, and headquartered at 207-857 West Hastings Street in Vancouver.

The firm is led by two principals: Nick Standish (Managing Director), with 17 years of experience across venture capital, corporate finance, and M&A, and Richard W.

Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on outreach, referrals, and industry reputation rather than a structured marketing or channel program. The firm serves enterprise-level corporate clients primarily in Canada with a stated operating presence in the United States, and there are no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or external PE/VC backing.
