Advisors want innovation exposure. The VC system makes that nearly impossible.
Deal flow is driven by personal relationships, bias toward select tech hubs, and subjective judgment. That approach doesn’t just limit access to the asset class—it concentrates risk. While attention stays fixed on a narrow slice of the private venture capital market, nearly two-thirds of North American venture activity unfolds in cities most VCs never meaningfully explore.
Connetic Ventures exists to solve that problem.
At the core of the firm is a proprietary research platform powered by Wendal®, our digital analyst. Wendal® systematically evaluates more than 20,000 startups annually across 100+ overlooked U.S. tech markets, expanding the opportunity set beyond traditional hubs. The outcome is the Connetic Venture Capital Access Fund (VCAFX): a portfolio diversified across sectors, stages, geographies, and vintages.
Just as important as how we invest is how the strategy is delivered. The Fund is an SEC-registered, electronically traded interval fund designed to work inside advisory practices, replacing K-1s with a 1099, lowering investment minimums, and reducing the operational friction that has historically limited venture capital adoption.
Our focus is straightforward: apply rigorous research, broaden diversification, and simplify venture capital access for advisors and their clients.
