Acceleprise VC Fund I, LP

Raymond Rouf and Patrick Price serve as Managing Directors and co-lead the investment decisions at Acceleprise. Both are former founders of enterprise software companies. Andrea Funsten is a Director supporting portfolio management and operations. The firm does not publicly disclose any additional investment committee members (per public record).

Acceleprise sources companies through its accelerator program, which attracts early-stage B2B founders. The firm also leverages relationships with corporate partners such as Microsoft and Salesforce, who refer startups and participate in demo days. By running the development program, the fund sees founders before they raise institutional capital, giving it access to proprietary deal flow.

Acceleprise operates as both a venture capital fund and a development platform. Its primary vehicle, Acceleprise VC Fund I, LP, is a venture capital fund that makes seed-stage investments. The firm also runs a cohort-based accelerator program, which provides mentorship, resources, and networking to founders. The fund and program are under the same management but distinct in structure.

Acceleprise targets pre-seed and seed-stage investments in enterprise B2B software companies. The firm typically writes initial checks of $50,000 to $200,000. It does not currently disclose a focus on later-stage rounds, though it has a separate SPV for follow-on investments created in 2023 (per firm communications).

Acceleprise focuses exclusively on enterprise B2B software, including SaaS, AI/ML, and business-to-business platforms. The firm explicitly avoids consumer, biotech, and hardware sectors based on its public portfolio and stated investment thesis.

Acceleprise does not publicly disclose a formal co-investment program. As a micro-fund, it typically leads or co-leads seed rounds alongside other seed-stage investors. Portfolio companies like SalesLoft and Highspot had participation from larger venture firms at later stages, but the fund does not advertise a dedicated co-investment vehicle beyond its follow-on SPV.

Acceleprise does not publicly disclose any affiliated philanthropic foundations or charitable vehicles. The firm's public presence is limited to its venture fund and accelerator program. No separate tax-exempt entities were identified in public records as of 2025.
