🔥 BERNIE'S HOT TAKE

Access VP is the real deal - they're not trying to be the flashiest fund, just consistently good at what they do. Chris Wand's Foundry Group pedigree shows, and they actually know how to help B2B companies scale without getting in the way. They're particularly strong if you're a Mountain West company that wants to compete nationally, since they understand both ecosystems. The team is smaller and more focused than mega-funds, which means you get actual partner attention. Fair warning: they're not going to lead your seed round or write huge Series C checks, so know where you are in your lifecycle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Best for: Series A B2B SaaS companies that want experienced, hands-on partners
  • Known for: Strong enterprise software expertise and Mountain West connections
  • Watch out for: Limited check sizes and stage focus - not for seed or growth rounds
Investment Thesis

Access Venture Partners focuses on early-stage B2B software companies in the Mountain West and beyond. They invest in Series A and B rounds for companies that have found product-market fit and are scaling efficiently.

Stage & Sector Focus

Series A/B B2B SaaS specialist, typically $2-10M checks. Heavy focus on enterprise software, fintech, and healthtech. Despite Denver HQ, they invest nationally but have strong Mountain West dealflow advantage.
