Investment Thesis

OpenView partners with founders to build business software companies at the expansion stage into market leaders. Founded in 2006 with a mission to ‘build a world that works better,’ they take a concentrated approach focused specifically on the expansion stage (companies that have found early product-market fit and are ready to scale). This allows them to meaningfully support companies post-investment through their Expansion Platform and Executive Network.

What Sets Them Apart

Deep specialization in the expansion stage - not seed or late stage, but the critical middle
Expansion Platform and Executive Network that removes hurdles to unlock growth
Hands-on operational support including pricing projects, executive hiring, connecting to CMOs, and capital markets access
Extensive thought leadership and benchmarking research (2023 SaaS Benchmarks Report, Product Benchmarks Report)
Focus on execution, differentiation, and Customer Success as core pillars
Experience with proven exits - portfolio includes 4 IPOs (Datadog, Instructure, UserTesting, Expensify) and multiple acquisitions (Workfront/Adobe, Lessonly/Seismic, etc.)
