01Thesis

Consumer habits compound. We underwrite the habit, not the hype.

Access Capital invests in emerging brands that consumers purchase daily, weekly, or monthly. We look for a proven track record of market adoption, intelligent and unique management, and a fair valuation. The three things that survive every cycle.

We are operators before we are allocators. Our value shows up in retail introductions, supply chain, brand strategy, and the second and third rounds our founders raise after us.

Category
Food, beverage, pet, personal care, and apparel brands people repurchase daily, weekly, or monthly.
Scale
$10M+ in annual revenue with proven, unsubsidized market adoption.
Economics
Profitable, or with clear line of sight to profitability on current capital.
Price
A fair valuation. We underwrite entry price as rigorously as growth.

07Questions

You've got questions. We've got answers.

01The basics

We're operators first. Access backs consumer brands that people already buy every week, food, beverage, pet, personal care, and apparel, and pairs capital with a founder and investor platform built to move real distribution, not just advise from a board seat.
