Founders are the Key to our Success

We’ve created a valuable network that supports our unique deal flow and exit opportunities

 

“Access Ventures is not just an investment firm that stops at funding; the team goes beyond to provide greater value. Access Ventures actively supports startups by granting them access to their extensive network. Partnering with Access Ventures during the early days of our journey, especially on international investor roadshows alongside global VCs, was an incredibly valuable experience.”

“Charles and John have been true partners since our early days. They have gone above and beyond to help us build essential connections, brainstorm growth opportunities, and ensure our well-being as founders. We are truly grateful to have them by our side.”

“Access Ventures has been a crucial partner in helping us navigate the challenges of growing a startup. Their insights, strategic advice, and genuine willingness to support have been invaluable to our progress. We’re grateful for their belief in our vision and the proactive role they’ve taken in helping us succeed”

Charles, GP of Access Ventures, is hands-down the most supportive and insightful VC. I have ever worked with. His wealth of experience and direct engagement have been invaluable, as he consistently offers honest feedback that not only helps achieve immediate milestones, but also guides strategic, long-term growth. Charles’s communication style is straightforward and encouraging, making him incredibly easy to collaborate with. He genuinely cares about your success beyond mere financial metrics. I highly recommend working with Charles and Access Ventures.

 

Access Ventures has been a steadfast partner, leveraging their strong regional network to support the success of my earlier startup. Their commitment to long-term growth and a founder-first approach truly stands out. I’m excited to continue this partnership as they back my current startup, reinforcing their dedication to entrepreneurs at every stage.

I started my career as a lawyer and investment banker for the first 14 years of my career. Thereafter, I have had roles as a CFO, CSO, M&A APAC Head, entrepreneur and adtech APAC growth leader before focusing on early stage investing. We understand the various challenges faced by entrepreneurs and have the experience and network to help. One of our key networks that we leverage is Google, where I led APAC M&A for 5 years. Ex-Googlers are pervasive throughout the ecosystem, and we are fortunate to have many as our investors, advisors/ mentors and entrepreneurs.

In my 25+ years in finance and investment banking, I have witnessed several cycles of booms and busts. Venture capital is no different in this regard. I’ve learnt what truly matters is having a long term perspective and focusing on the right fundamentals. Leveraging the network of key players I’ve made throughout my career, I believe Access can add true value to the visionary founders that are striving to change the world. Access Ventures does not merely mean access to capital; we are a connection to a rich and cooperative ecosystem.
