Membership Overview
Accelerate Venture Partners (AVP) is a collective of angel investors based in Wichita, bringing together members from a diverse array of professional and industry backgrounds. Our mission is to create a vibrant and inclusive investment community focused on early-stage investments in high-potential companies based in Wichita and throughout the Midwest.
At AVP, we understand the vital role that diversity plays in driving innovation and making informed investment decisions. Our focus on diversifying membership through angel education is key to fostering a dynamic environment where diverse perspectives can thrive. By attracting members from various sectors and communities—including seasoned entrepreneurs, first-time angel investors, and the next generation of investors—we cultivate an atmosphere of collaboration and learning.
Through our monthly meetings, where we invite two to three presenting companies, members engage in meaningful question-and-answer sessions. These interactions not only energize our community but also enrich each member's understanding of potential investments.
It is essential to recognize that AVP is not a fund. Each investor retains full autonomy over their investment choices, with transactions executed through an LLC formed explicitly for that purpose. AVP and NXTUS do not hold fiduciary responsibilities for any investment opportunities, ensuring that our members maintain full control over their decisions.
