All software should be open and everyone can become an entrepreneur

WELCOME

A New Approach to Venture

OCV believes in the power of an open-source base for all software, and the impact of open learning and collaboration. Our investment approach diverges from conventional venture capital -- it aims to enable experienced, capable, and technical founders who otherwise would not have the resources to launch a successful startup.
