Welcome to OV Funds

OV Funds is the corporate venture capital arm of Oxygen Ventures. We are dedicated to partnering with mid-sized services companies to operate as their external VC arm. Our corporate venture capital methodology is focused on making strategic investments into growth-stage, expansion-focused startups outside of the U.S., particularly those entering the U.S. market from high-potential APAC regions.

Traditional CVC models hinge on the fact that corporate giants invest large capital. In order to provide value as a CVC for mid-sized companies, OV has developed a global investment and incubation model.

Who We Are

At OV Funds, we are more than just investors; we are strategic partners committed to unlocking global growth opportunities. Our goal is to ensure that every investment is not just financially rewarding but also strategically aligned with the long-term vision of our corporate partners. Together, we can drive the next wave of innovation and growth.

OV Funds was founded on the belief that mid-sized CVC practices hold a unique potential in the corporate investment landscape. Unlike larger corporations, mid-sized companies are agile enough to navigate and adapt to evolving markets yet possess the stability to begin charting long-term growth strategies. 

Our role is to empower these mid-sized companies to explore and capitalize on emerging innovation opportunities while maintaining equitable investment valuations.

We partner with corporations in the following industries:

  • IT services
  • Financial services
  • Cloud services
  • Consumer services

How We Operate

OV works with its corporate partners to define and establish a long term roadmap for continued access to innovation, M&A opportunities, and access to new markets. Services companies encounter two inflection points for growth: when they enter the US market and when they develop a proprietary technological platform. 

OV Funds takes its value proposition one step further by identifying companies outside of the US that are poised for breakthrough growth and incubating them with all the resources needed to succeed in the US market. 

Corporate partners have the opportunity to invest into startups on the precipice of exponential growth and reduced risk from having Oxygen Ventures incubate/advise companies through various stages of growth.
