behind access

our story

Founded in 2020, Access VC is the purpose-driven venture arm of Reckitt. We invest in founders who fight for access to better hygiene, health and nutrition.

We’re giving them access to Reckitt’s capability, experts, brands, and scale; so they can grow, succeed, and change the world sooner.

what defines access?

We believe in the power of putting people first, that’s why we’ve developed a set of founder-centric values that drive how and who we work with.

Purpose-led

We invest in founders with big ideas for a cleaner, healthier world.

Inclusive

We welcome everyone and champion founders from all backgrounds.

Empowering

We work with founders as peers and partners to build shared success.

access is

purpose-led

Purpose is at the heart of our work, our investments, and our vision for a better future. We only back founders who share our vision of a world in which access to better hygiene, health, and nutrition is a right, not a privilege.

Certified B Corp Pending

We walk the walk and are Certified B Corp Pending - we know what it means to truly lead a purpose-led business.

access is

inclusive

We won’t have fair access for all if there isn’t a seat at the table for all. The drive, talent, and vision needed to be a purpose-led founder isn’t exclusive - we invest in founders with the right ideas, not the ‘right’ background.
