Handpicked Single Company Investments
Beyond Demo Day
Access exceptional companies through our Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). Available exclusively to accredited investors, with investments ranging from $5K to $500K+ to accommodate everyone from individuals making their first private investment to family offices deploying significant capital.
Investment Strategy
Two Complementary Investment Strategies
Demo Day Funds
Systematic Early-Stage Access
- Broad exposure to each YC batch
- Predictable, diversified returns
- Lower risk through portfolio approach
- Ideal for core venture allocation
SPVs
Targeted Follow-On Opportunities
- Single company investments
- Higher potential returns, higher risk
- Deploy more capital per opportunity
- Tailored to your investment thesis
Our SPVs feature vetted companies we have long-term relationships with, allowing us to put our stamp of quality on each opportunity. These complement your Demo Day Fund investments by letting you increase exposure to specific sectors or companies that align with your portfolio strategy.
The Access Fund Advantage
Unique Deal Pipeline Through Portfolio Scale
We maintain an actively managed portfolio of over 450 Y Combinator companies. Since Y Combinator companies represent the top 1-2% of all startups, this gives us access to a level of deal quality that few investors will ever see.
- Portfolio Scale
- 450+ Y Combinator companies in our actively managed portfolio
- Pre-Vetted Quality
- Y Combinator's rigorous selection process ensures we work with exceptional companies
- Unique Pipeline
- Long-term relationships enable access to deals very few other investors can offer
Our Approach
Quality Over Quantity
We believe in doing fewer deals exceptionally well rather than flooding investors with mediocre opportunities. Each SPV represents a company we've thoroughly vetted through our existing relationships and believe offers compelling value.
- Selective Curation
- We'd rather do three exceptional deals than thirty mediocre ones
- Relationship-Based
- Long-term relationships with portfolio companies enable quality access
- Growing Together
- As our investor network expands, so does our ability to systematically extend these offerings
