Investment thesis

OVO specializes in the earliest stage of company formation, describing its focus as the 'negative one to zero' phase where ideas are raw and unproven. The firm backs pre-seed founders with bold, ambitious visions and the potential to define or create new categories, often before there are customers or a fully-formed narrative. OVO positions itself as a founder-focused, human-centric partner that offers conviction alongside capital, aiming to be a founder's first call through every pivot and milestone. It invests across Applied AI, enterprise tech, fintech, digital health, Web3, consumer, and SaaS.
