Connetic Ventures is a venture capital and private equity firm based in Covington, Kentucky. Founded in 2014 and led by Brad Zapp, the firm operates with employee ownership and focuses on data-driven private venture capital deal sourcing at scale. Its flagship effort centers on a proprietary research platform that analyzes tens of thousands of startups annually across numerous overlooked U.S. tech markets, aiming to broaden access and diversification beyond traditional hubs. The firm offers the Connetic Venture Capital Access Fund, an SEC-registered interval fund designed to integrate with advisory practices and reduce operational friction for venture investing, including substitutions for K-1s with 1099 forms and lower investment minimums. Connetic positions itself as expanding the opportunity set for advisors and their clients by delivering rigorous research and broader geographic diversification within venture capital. A notable portion of its activity reflects ongoing investments across a wide range of sectors and stages, with a growing portfolio. In recent developments, Connetic has participated in multiple early-stage investments, including pre-seed rounds such as Qwyn AI, reflecting its active sourcing and reach into lesser-explored markets.
