OpenView Venture Partners

As a founder you have worked extremely hard to define your market and maintain a clear focus. It’s only fair that your investor does the same. Ten years ago, Scott Maxwell founded OpenView with a singular focus in mind – to invest in and help grow expansion stage software companies. Over the last decade, we’ve been hard at work not only finding companies with the potential to dominate their markets, but also working intimately with those companies to ensure they fulfill that potential. While every investor asks to see laser focus from the companies they work with, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to practice what we preach. Because of our unique specialization, we have developed a deep and valuable understanding of the problems expansion stage companies face in their quest to acquire, retain and grow the right customers and talent. GO-TO-MARKET A great go-to-market strategy is the foundation of any great software company. We help you build repeatable and scalable customer acquisition models and hire the best talent so you can focus on execution.

We help you transform individual wins into the kind of hyper growth that builds expansion stage companies into market leaders.
