Lendable is a technology-enabled investment platform that provides asset-backed debt to fintech companies across emerging and frontier markets. Our investment carries the same conviction across borders that guides our work at home: capital deployed not just for profit, but for human flourishing.
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.
Hot Chicken Takeover
Hot Chicken Takeover (HCT) was a Nashville-style hot chicken restaurant founded in Columbus, Ohio, in 2014 by Joe DeLoss and was one of the country's most compelling examples of "fair-chance" employment. We were early investors in HCT, and we exited our position before the founder departed and sold the business. The company has since closed, but the model it demonstrated remains one we're proud to have backed.
Lenderfit
Lenderfit is cloud-based loan origination and servicing software built for CDFIs and mission-driven lenders, an intuitive, mobile-friendly platform that lets small lenders do far more with the teams they have. We founded Lenderfit to scale a hard-won lesson from our own lending, and after helping incubate and launch it, we have since sold our ownership. The company continues today, serving mission-driven lenders across 29 states.
Greenbacker
Greenbacker is a multi-strategy sustainable investment manager and independent power producer that connects individuals and institutions with opportunities to build the infrastructure of the energy transition. It both manages energy-transition investment strategies and directly owns and operates hundreds of clean energy assets. We are an investor in Greenbacker's sustainable infrastructure.
SoLo Funds
SoLo Funds is a community finance platform where members step up for one another by lending and borrowing on their own terms, without the mandatory fees, rollover traps, and compound interest that define so much of small-dollar credit. Founded in 2018 by Travis Holoway and Rodney Williams, SoLo set out to build something more human: a place where a nurse in Ohio can lend $100 to help a gig worker in Texas cover a car repair, and both are better for it.

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.

Village Capital
Village Capital is a global venture capital firm that has pioneered peer-selected investment and entrepreneur support models to back founders solving real-world challenges in sectors such as financial inclusion, sustainability, and the future of work.
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.
