Accelerate Venture Partners (AVP) operates as a collaborative angel investor collective focused on mobilizing capital for early-stage, high-growth companies in the Heartland region. The firm believes in providing more than just capital—they emphasize connections, knowledge, mentoring, and operational assistance to entrepreneurs. AVP explicitly states they follow a ‘Hippocratic Oath’ approach to their investment process: ‘first do no harm, then help,’ meaning they respect founder time, avoid being heavy-handed, and aim to be helpful regardless of the path forward.
