Frequently asked questions
How does OpenView source proprietary deal flow?
OpenView signals that its Expansion Platform and published SaaS benchmarking content — on pricing, packaging, and hiring — serve as a top-of-funnel magnet for expansion-stage founders. The firm does not disclose a dedicated sourcing function, but its content marketing and operating reputation appear designed to generate inbound from B2B software founders approaching scale.
Is OpenView structured as a venture firm or does it operate differently?
OpenView is a venture capital firm organizationally, but it embeds a salaried operating team — the Expansion Platform — inside the GP. This structure mirrors elements of a buyout firm’s operating group more than a traditional venture firm’s advisory model. The firm leads equity rounds and takes board seats, with the platform team directly executing pricing, executive placement, and go-to-market projects.
