Access Ventures

Access Ventures is an investment platform that deploys catalytic capital toward economic prosperity, social equity and environmental sustainability. It runs the AV Fellowship, which gives selected fellows a stipend, mentorship and in-person gatherings over a ten-month programme, and the Peregrine Programme, which brings people together in Oxford to focus on ethical leadership. The organisation says its work is guided by blended finance and by expanding who can access capital and take on risk, and it describes itself as taking a high tolerance for risk when it invests.
