Investment thesis
OCV Partners invests in brilliant teams building disruptive technology, drawing on the partners' background as former founders who have grown businesses from early stages through IPOs. Its core focus areas are Technology (SaaS, FinTech, and PropTech), with expertise in subscription and recurring-revenue software models, and Healthcare (Healthcare SaaS, Digital Health, MedTech, and BioTech). In healthcare, the firm backs companies enabling precision and targeted approaches, empowering better treatment decisions, removing barriers to equitable care, and expediting discovery of new treatments. OCV aims to create asymmetric advantages for founders and offers flexible capital, preferring but not requiring to lead rounds.
