Capital & Connection: OAV Investor Dinner

​Join Open Access Ventures (OAV) for an intimate, invite-only dinner experience following the Startup World Cup Pitch Competition, featuring a curated meal by ChefXport, an OAV portfolio company redefining private dining.

​This isn’t just dinner—it’s a conversation about the future of capital, community, and the untapped potential of Tier B markets like Phoenix.

​OAV is rooted in the belief that Tier B cities should not have to export their best founders to raise capital in San Francisco, New York, or LA. Our mission is to go deep in overlooked markets—starting with Arizona—to fund and champion high-integrity, high-ambition founders in their own backyard.

​Over the course of the evening, guests will:

• ​🍽️ Experience a private culinary journey by ChefXport, a premium in-home dining startup born from the Phoenix community.

• ​💬 Meet the OAV team and learn about our mission to back entrepreneurs from Tier B markets who are building real businesses, not just hype.

• ​🤝 Connect with local and visiting investors who share a vision for building sustainable, founder-first ecosystems outside traditional capital hubs.

• ​📈 Get early access to curated deal flow from high-growth startups emerging from Phoenix and beyond.

• ​🌱 Engage in a conversation around what it means to build “wealth with purpose” and foster long-term value creation through community-rooted investing.

​Why Phoenix? Why now?
OAV is choosing to go deep—not wide. We’ve seen firsthand how ecosystems thrive when capital is accessible at home. Our goal is to plant real roots in Phoenix and be part of the next wave of breakout companies that scale with integrity, resilience, and vision.
