Companies succeed because of the people who build them.
The Collective Venture Model®
200+ Operator Limited Partners
Our Operator LPs (executives who are currently building, running, and growing tech companies) are the most sought-after leaders in the industry.
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.
Working with Operator Collective is like having unlimited access to a real life Masterclass.
Operator Collective LPs have built category-defining companies. They have truly unparalleled experience in scaling companies and bring deep expertise across all functions, at every stage.
Operator Collective has been instrumental in connecting me to people and opportunities I'd have no way of getting to otherwise. I love having them on my side.
Some companies think they need certain skills as they start to scale, but the real key is having access to them from a much earlier stage. Operator Collective gives us an added level of expertise we had no idea we needed. It's really a one-stop-shop for building your company.
The Collective Venture Model is inclusive and diverse, opening up doors to people who never thought of themselves as being part of the venture community. It feels like these are my people, and I belong here.
To know there’s a resource out there full of people that have beat these same challenges - a group you can access as you go? You can’t put a price on that kind of help.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
