Beyond Capital

Beyond Capital

Beyond Capital was formed in 2017 by Co-Founder and Managing Member Scott Wilson, with Jennifer Bellin joining as Managing Member. The firm structures its offerings as a series of venture capital fund-of-funds vehicles, with Fund III currently open to new investors. Rather than building an internal team of deal leads, Beyond Capital pools capital to invest alongside established venture capital firms. The firm’s current Fund III targets Seed to Series A companies, with provisions to deploy a portion of capital into advantageous Pre-Seed and Series B-or-later opportunities. The investment committee for Fund III includes Aaron Matson, CFO of CESO Inc., Scott Wilson, and Max Toy, CEO of Paladin Associates Inc. The firm discloses a preference for backing disruptive innovation, though specific portfolio companies or co-investing VC firms have not been publicly named. Its operational footprint spans multiple US locations, including Kirkland, Washington, Indianapolis, and Chicago. Beyond Capital’s investment committee structure draws on a network of operating executives across industries. Fund II was overseen by Aaron Matson, Scott Wilson, Nicholas Morgan, President of Accrescent, and Jonathan Harkless, President of The Banah Group. The original Fund I committee included Jennifer Bellin, Samuel Logan of Afiniti, Darrin Grove of Truefit, and Joe Mulvaney of Sago. The firm is currently raising Fund III, as indicated on its website. The firm’s structural differentiator is its fund-of-funds architecture for individual accredited investors, aggregating commitments to invest into venture fund portfolios rather than competing as a direct investor. This layers an extra management structure between limited partners and the startups, which can provide diversification across managers but also introduces a second layer of fees.
