Venture has always been exclusive, white, and male, and here comes Operator Collective, which turns that model on its head. In contrast to the many empty statements we’ve seen from those in tech and VC, Operator Collective is innovating on how to rebuild the ecosystem, removing many hurdles and creating new access points for founders and investors. We know from our own experience that this will generate industry-beating returns.
From day one it was clear Operator Collective is different. They have been unusually helpful, present, and encouraging. We're proud of what they’re doing, and even more proud to have their support.
Being backed by Operator Collective means being backed by a powerhouse group of executives who have not only scaled successful tech companies, but done it with great care for building strong organizational cultures. That type of values alignment is hugely important to me as a founder.
Operator Collective has assembled a world-class network of the most experienced operators in tech from diverse backgrounds. They have created a meaningful community and a scalable, powerful platform - it's working, and we look forward to their continued success.

Operator Collective is the most impactful investor on our cap table.
I don't think you can find the level of experience and expertise in such a wide, diverse range of subject matter anywhere that I know of. To be able to tap into one of the investors for any need that you have? That’s amazing.
I’m incredibly inspired by this group of operators, and excited about 'what’s possible' when diverse perspectives are seen and heard. It’s encouraging to see a group of such diverse leaders committed to driving equity – creating more opportunity and accessibility for all.
