Flexible Access
Access Ventures is not tied to one lead VC, one fund, or one company per category.
Direct exposure to selective cybersecurity co-investments
Access Ventures gives global capital a focused path into cybersecurity rounds led by top-tier venture firms.
Investment Thesis
A focused route into institutional cyber deal flow.
Access Ventures provides direct co-investment exposure to high-conviction cybersecurity companies alongside top-tier VC leads.
Our deal flow is driven by TJ's deep relationships across the cybersecurity ecosystem, with both founders and GPs who want his expertise and network around the table.
Unlike generalist VC exposure, our capital is concentrated exclusively in cybersecurity, where our access, expertise, and conviction are strongest.
Our Edge
Broader exposure to category formation, not a single early bet.
Multi-Winner Exposure
When a sub-sector produces multiple strong players, we can allocate across several promising startups, even when they are backed by different top-tier VCs.
Cyber-Native Filter
Our operators, advisors, and buyer network help separate durable cyber companies from narrow features.
Process
Institutional diligence, then our own cyber screen.
Each deal has already passed institutional VC diligence, then undergoes our own second screen through cybersecurity operators, advisors, and domain experts.
VC-Led Opportunity
Opportunities originate from institutional VC pipelines and trusted founder relationships.
Operator Review
Our cybersecurity operators, advisors, and domain experts pressure-test the market, buyer relevance, and category potential.
Selective Allocation
We enter as a separate line on the cap table, with our own fund economics, terms, management fee, and carry structure.
Investment Model
Designed to capture upside from multiple cyber winners.
By stock-picking the strongest cybersecurity opportunities from top-performing VC pipelines, we aim to outperform even the cyber allocation of the funds we co-invest with.
