Dear Investors,

For many of you, investing in OTC and NASDAQ in the year 2000 wasn't easy, but finally the time has come to make big profits again. Many companies are trading at their year low, and although this might seem sad to some, it is in fact the perfect time to get in a lot of exciting opportunities.

Now it is time to invest in a internet related company with huge revenues, great upside potential and practically no downside risk. We did a lot of research and are proud to present to you to a company that has all these qualities, a company that is trully worth investing in !

The company is The Internet Venture Group, and it trades under the otcbb symbol ITVI





The Internet Venture Group provides its shareholders with a "one stock investment" in a diversified basket of early stage revenue generating "click and mortar, B2B and B2C e-commerce companies.

There is a lot of material about this company. Many investor sites are covering it, the CEO is constantly asked for inteviews on the net, there own a lot of great websites, press releases are coming out at a high speed, the growth rate is incredible and management has suggested that revenues for next year could comfortably exceed $1 billion , with plenty of room for improving profit margins !!! HOT HOT HOT ! Imagine how this huge increase will affect share price !!

But first take a look at the chart to see the rock solid bottom where this silent volcano is trading at this moment ! A flat line with great upside potential.




The highly respected Phantom of Raging Bull calls ITVI the INTERNET TITAN!

Phantom :"THE SHORT TERM OBJECTIVE IS 6.00-9.00 LONG TERM OBJECTIVE COULD REACH AS HIGH AS 12.00-14.00 THE KEY TO THE TRADE IS ABOVE 3.43, 6.00, 7.50, 9.00, 12.00 AND 15.00 THAT SHOULD BE THE BREAKOUT POINT AT EACH LEVEL. WATCH FOR ANY INCREASE IN VOLUME PRIOR TO ANY NEWS!!! THAT SHOULD BE THE TIP OFF!!!

INTERNET VENTURE GROUP, INC

ITVI is an Internet development and technology holding company headquartered in Houston, Texas. The Company identifies, acquires and develops early stage revenue generating businesses and provides its shareholders with a "one stock investment" in a diversified basket of early stage revenue generating "click and mortar, B2B and B2C e-commerce companies while providing its portfolio of companies access to the publicly traded securities of ITVI .

Shareholders benefit from owning a "basket" of companies under the ITVI Company umbrella providing diversification of holdings, which should provide an extra-added element of investment security. The Company is able to provide e-commerce enabling technologies, executive management consultation, business model and strategic development support, cross marketing and affinity marketing leverage, debt and equity financing, corporate development and SEC guidance, investment banking services and ultimately support for initial public offerings of stock. The big payday for ITVI shareholders comes when ITVI facilitates an IPO for the respective portfolio companies and divests its position at that time, at a planned substantial profit above the initial ITVI investment. Major returns on investment are anticipated.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GROWTH FOCUS

Through a series of well-planned and carefully researched acquisitions, the Company is expanding its revenue base dramatically. Many of the target acquisitions are already profitable, but are not efficient operators or in tune with the bourgeoning e-commerce market, as well as being capital constrained, which has limited their potential expansion. ITVI management has the capability to nurture and provide the "missing links" that will enable these companies to broadly expand their revenue and profit base.

The Company uses its Internet resources to make key acquisitions in strategic e-commerce industries that either provide for immediate revenue and profitability or position the Company in a hyper-growth market with the potential to establish early market leadership.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT ORGANISATIONS

ITVI is accumulating a significant revenue base in the Professional Employment Organization (PEO) or staff leasing industry.

Jan. 3 Internet Venture Group, Inc. announced that it has signed a definitive merger agreement with SES-Corp., the nation's largest privately held, full service Professional Employer Organization. After this merger, SES will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITVI ! The merger is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2001. Now take a look at another press release on Nov. 14 : " iVGCorp, forecasts year 2001 revenues to exceed $1 Billion based on the acquisition of Simplified Employment Services, Inc." So here we have ITVI with +1BILLION$ revenues... what will happen to the stock (yes, soar up) ? Read on :

SES (www.sesworks.com) is headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan and currently has 10 offices in 9 states, with operations in 42 states. Founded in 1989, SES provides PEO services to over 3,000 client employers and more than 40,000 work site employees throughout the United States. Planned revenues: $900 million for 2001.

Simplified Employment Services (SES) has been ranked on the Forbes ``500 Biggest Private Companies'' list as number 331. The featured article was published in the November 27, 2000 issue of Forbes.

ITVI's policy regarding acquired PEO companies :

PEO companies typically provide employee payroll, human resource and benefit services on an outsource basis. Unlike temporary employment agencies, PEO's carry client company's full-time employees on the PEO's payroll and bills the client a surcharge on each payroll period. This results in a large revenue base, with modest profit margins. ITVI plans to apply its e-commerce resources to increase the PEO firm's profit margins by helping the acquired PEO to transition from a paper centric human intensive operation to a paperless electronic web centric operation. This industry is known for generating vast amounts of paper work, so it is clear that the implementation of management's business plan, will have a major beneficial impact on profitability.

As ITVI's services will significantly increase the profit margin on these $900 million revenues, we expect MAJOR income for ITVI very soon, and great shareholders reward !

ITVI also signed of an agreement to acquire Trendsetter, Inc., a Houston based PEO, that has an annual revenue run rate of $145 million with a pre-tax margin estimated to be about 3%. Management believes they can expand the pre-tax profit margin towards the six percent area, by transitioning the Company into a web-centralized paperless transaction company implementing their management systems. The Trendsetter, Inc. acquisition should be completed by early 2001.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SWAN MAGNETICS & iTVr Inc.

ITVI recently completed the acquisition of Swan Magnetics, Inc. Swan has developed a high-speed multimedia storage device ideal for use with music videos, video e-mail and digital imaging. Known for its Research & Development Swan provides the Company with a very healthy Balance Sheet, including a reported $5 million in cash . Swan presently has no revenues for its UHC Disc Drive technology, but management believes they intend to license the technology and collect royalties.

Swan Magnetics has developed breakthrough ultra high capacity (UHC) floppy drives and media. UHC is a new family of high-performance high-capacity, low-cost floppy disk drives that offer 180 times the capacity of conventional 3.5-inch floppy drives, and operate at performance levels and transfer rates associated with hard drives.

Jan. 4 Internet Venture Group, Inc. announced that its subsidiary Swan Magnetics, Inc. will receive 20% of the common stock of iTVr, Inc., a broadband Internet appliance company located in Santa Clara, California, in exchange for a $250,000 investment in iTVr under a Research and Development Agreement.

iTVr has developed a high performance, multi function, low cost personal video recorder (PVR). The key to the iTVr PVR is its intelligent Linux based operating system and single chip solution that allows original equipment manufacturers to integrate the iTVr PVR into their systems as a low cost, multi functionality module or stand alone consumer system. iTVr's initial product, the iTVr-1000G, will be directed at the personal video market for time shift television and Internet recording and playback. The iTVr-1000G should retail for approximately $399 and would not require ongoing service charges. The Company expects to begin shipments of its first product to China in the first quarter of 2001 with initial introduction to the European and US markets in mid 2001.

iTVr is also displaying two major new features of internet connectivity: web browsing with an unique graphic user interface and significant advances in the application of removable storage for the enhanced television features. These technologies include the high capacity (130 MB) Swan UHC floppy disk technology and a new shock resistant high capacity removable hard drive package (up to 40 GB). With 40 GB, the user can store up to 40 hours of high quality broadcast video.
