Wellington Access Ventures
With over $1.4 trillion of AUM, Wellington Management is a leading global asset manager with over 2,500 institutional clients in over 60 countries Recognizing a largely untapped opportunity to invest in Black, Latino/a and women entrepreneurs and investors, Wellington formed Wellington Access Ventures (WAV) in 2023. It is founded on the principle that while talent is widespread, access to capital in the venture capital (VC) industry has not been, highlighting a significant opportunity for value creation and return potential among founders who struggle to access the traditional VC market. WAV makes seed through Series A investments in a variety of growing sectors, each with a focus on cultural and demographic shifts. In addition, the team at WAV will partner with other diverse-led emerging fund managers (6 GPs as of 2024) to further strengthen and grow the venture ecosystem.
