About OpenView

OpenView Venture Partners is a Boston-based venture capital firm founded in 2006 by Scott Maxwell that specializes in expansion-stage business software companies. The firm’s investment thesis targets high-growth B2B SaaS, cloud computing, and productivity software companies globally, with a primary focus on North America and a distinctive emphasis on product-led growth (PLG). OpenView typically writes checks between $5 million and $15 million for companies generating $2 million to $20 million in annual revenue, often leading or co-leading rounds while providing operational support. Notable portfolio companies include Calendly, Expensify, and UserTesting, which have scaled into industry leaders under the firm’s guidance. A key point of view for OpenView is its value-add model, where the team actively assists portfolio companies with pricing, go-to-market strategy, and talent acquisition rather than仅提供 capital. However, in December 2023, the firm unexpectedly halted new investments and terminated most of its workforce, suspending operations to outline a new strategic direction within three to six months.
