Donate Equity
Donate Equity makes complex giving simple. Its software platform and expert team help nonprofits receive early-stage equity gifts from donors — founders, small-business owners, and early employees who want to give a slice of what they're building long before any sale. We are investors in Donate Equity, and our own AV Foundation has been an early user of the platform.
Hidden Ventures
Hidden Ventures was a fund started by Access Ventures focused on the future of creative work. We invested in pre-seed and seed stage startups building the next wave of creative tools, products, and services, the kind that unlock creativity and help creators build, earn, and flourish in the creative economy.
Catalyze
Catalyze is the platform for capital entrepreneurs, the fund managers working to move capital toward businesses the mainstream overlooks. It gives those managers the capital and support they need to build enduring firms, and it helps allocators find and back exceptional, differentiated managers. Catalyze was birthed out of Blueprint and today Access Ventures serves as its fiscal sponsor and a strategic partner, providing the charitable home, infrastructure, and partnership that lets the Catalyze team focus on its mission.
AV Foundation
The AV Foundation is a donor's partner for impact, a public charity that helps people realize their philanthropic aspirations while fostering a sense of community around every challenge. We started it with friends, and we continue to support its vision and its growth. The team at Access Ventures provides management support to the Foundation and its donor-advised fund accounts.
Community Investment Management (CIM)
Access to responsible credit is one of the most basic conditions of economic agency. Without it, a capable borrower can't buy the vehicle that gets them to work, smooth an uneven month, or fund the inventory that grows a business not because they are unreliable, but because legacy underwriting can't see them.
CIM was built to close that gap at scale.
Kairos
Kairos Investment Management Company (KIMC) is a disciplined real estate investor whose name says a lot about its philosophy — kairos, the opportune moment when conditions are right for a crucial action. Kairos invests across commercial and multifamily real estate in the lower middle market, pairing rigorous, capital-preservation-first underwriting with a genuine commitment to impact. We are an investor in Kairos's impact-oriented real estate strategies.
North Sky Capital
North Sky Capital is one of the longest-tenured impact investing firms in the market. Founded in 2000, it seeks to create positive social and environmental impact while generating strong financial returns by investing in companies, private equity funds, and infrastructure projects that make the world a better place. We are an investor in North Sky's Clean Growth strategy, part of the impact-oriented core of our real assets allocation.
Collab Capital
Collab Capital invests financial, human, and social capital to grow businesses and build lasting economic equity through increased ownership in the innovation economy. Founded by entrepreneurs Jewel Burks Solomon and Barry Givens who built the firm they wished they'd had, Collab is "built by founders, for founders." We are a limited partner in Collab Capital.
Caprock
Caprock is an outside managers Access Ventures partners with to steward capital. A privately owned multi-family office serving families and institutions with complex wealth, Caprock builds portfolios across public and private markets while treating impact not as a separate carve-out but as an integrated discipline, the same conviction that has guided our own "one-pocket" approach from the beginning.
Ethic
Ethic is one of the clearest expressions of our one-pocket conviction because we hold it from both sides. We invested directly in Ethic early, helping the team build out their platform and bring it to market, and we also use that same platform to align our own public equities with the values that drive our mission.
