In today's technological world, we find a challenging and ever-expanding marketplace for almost any product or service. Such is the case for the services and products of Imke Funk Risk Ventures. Through the worldwide reach of the Internet, innovative and resourceful companies can market their 'wares' around the world, literally. It may seem unlikely that someone in, say, South America would contact us to package and market them as an artist. Unlikely, perhaps, but certainly not impossible to do, or impossible that they would buy product from us. Our production clients will, based on our past experience, come from areas 'closer to home,' but, through the far-reaching aspects of Imke Funk's career, we have learned that contacts from anywhere in the world are certainly possible.
