Let’s talk about how to move your business forward.
What We’re Looking For
OVF invests in startups and growth companies in all sectors and stages of development. No startup is too early - half of our initial investments are in pre-revenue startups. Our check size ranges from $500K to $5M and we can invest up to $10M in a company over its life. We like to lead financings but are also happy to follow.
Our investments tend to be in insanely great teams, creating must-have solutions for large or growing markets. We target to invest $20M annually in 8 to 10 startups and growth companies. Even if your startup isn't a fit for an OVF investment, we'd still like to try to be helpful.
