The Connetic Venture Capital Access Fund (the “Fund”) is a 1940 Act, closed-end interval fund that seeks to invest in a portfolio of private, early-stage growth companies. While traditionally, such access to private companies has only been available to institutional and high net worth investors through high-minimum, complex and paperwork-laden private placement vehicles, the Adviser has built proprietary in-house software, Wendal, that analyzes a potential portfolio company and its team members. The Fund is continuously offered and seeks to provide all investors access to such companies, with daily NAV, a quarterly redemption program and simple 1099 tax reporting. The Fund does not charge a performance fee, unlike most private venture capital funds.
The fund is available for a minimum investment of $2,500. All investing involves risk including the possible loss of principal. Holdings are subject to change and risk. Not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any particular security. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.
For a prospectus with this and other information please visit our website: conneticventures.com/vcafx or call 1-800-711-9164. Read the prospectus carefully before investing. The Connetic Venture Capital Access Fund is distributed by FORESIDE FUND SERVICES, LLC

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.
