Saper aims to help fill a fintech investing “blind spot” at Uncork, which earlier this year raised $400 million in a set of new funds.
for several years — but over the years the firm has grown into a multi-pronged juggernaut. In addition to deploying capital out of a $650 million U.S.-based early stage fund , it also has two other $650 million early stage vehicles for other geographies and a set of later-stage funds sized in the billions. As time went on, Saper says she found herself gravitating specifically towards the earliest stage companies.
“There’s a pressure to write larger checks,” McLoughlin says in comparing the multi-stage firm to Uncork. “They’ve got a huge fund to deploy and I think as an investor there you can’t be slinging $2 million checks to work your way through the fund.”it’s the way she prefers it. “There’s something really special when the entire firm is laser-focused on that same shared priority,” she said.
Saper, who before Accel worked in marketing at Twitter and Stripe, said she was also drawn to Uncork because of the chance to “help shape the next chapter for the firm in a way that is just more possible in a smaller environment.
McLoughlin maintains he has no plans to expand beyond its core seed expertise and one day become a diversified operation, like Accel. “I don’t have any ambitions to build the next hundred-person venture company,” he said. “One of the reasons that what we do works so well is because it’s small and there’s no politicking and everybody knows pretty intimately what the rest of the team are working on.”
