Operator Collective

Operator Collective is an early-stage B2B venture capital firm that connects founders to exceptional enterprise operators. Their unique Collective Venture Model® involves over 200 Operator Limited Partners—executives who are currently building, running, and growing tech companies. These Operator LPs are among the most sought-after leaders in the industry, bringing unparalleled experience in scaling companies and deep expertise across all functions and stages. The firm emphasizes inclusivity and diversity, opening doors to individuals who have traditionally been excluded from the venture community. This approach has been instrumental in connecting founders to people and opportunities they might not have access to otherwise. The firm has been recognized for its impact, with portfolio companies praising their support and the value of having access to a diverse group of experienced operators.

The Collective Venture Model® is a scalable and sustainable platform that mobilizes the most valuable resource needed to supercharge rising companies—not just capital, but the expertise and networks of the most respected leaders who are building today’s most successful tech companies. Operator LPs bring over 5,000 years of operating experience to the table, providing hands-on support, sourcing, diligence participation, and powerful introductions to help companies scale faster.
