Thesis
Access Venture Partners (AVP) is a venture capital firm established in 1999, based in Westminster, Colorado. AVP focuses on early-stage technology companies in the United States, particularly in the Mountain West region, emphasizing a founder-first philosophy and providing operational support alongside capital. Their investment thesis centers on Seed and Series A rounds for companies exhibiting venture-pace growth, high margins, recurring revenue, and sustainable competitive advantages. Key sectors include SaaS, cybersecurity, and marketplace models, with an interest in foundational technology infrastructure, enterprise productivity solutions, and technologies promoting a secure digital economy. They target companies with large addressable markets, influenced by macro trends, and where their team's expertise can drive growth. While North America-focused, remote teams are acceptable. AVP explicitly avoids investments in real estate, services, biotech, pharmaceuticals, physical retail, or drug companies. The typical check size ranges from $250,000 to $500,000 for seed investments, with reserves for follow-ons, and a broader range of $250,000 to $4 million for seed and Series A rounds. AVP actively leads or co-leads investment rounds. As of April 2023, their AUM is not explicitly stated as a total, but Fund V was announced at $47 million, and Access Venture Partners III has less than $150 million in AUM, with the firm operating 4 private funds.
