Each week we meet with passionate entrepreneurs with tons of ideas. 90% of the time, these founders think they have everything figured out and all they need is capital to get the ball rolling. We look for the few founders who have identified a key problem and are looking for a partner to help them create the best product possible to solve that problem.
OC4 Venture Studio partners with highly scalable companies that are solving big market problems. We invest in founders with product-led, data-driven, software companies that will not only transform or disrupt an industry but have the potential to fundamentally reshape the way consumers of a product interact.
Here are five key factors we consider when evaluating startups.
We want human connections.
Most importantly, we value human relationships and connecting with our founders on a deeper level than the average investor-founder partnership.
Specific reasons why we invested in two of our portfolio companies:
Spoonful
“ A combination of strong product-disciplined cofounders, with the amazing traction they have already received organically in the adoption of their product, and the market opportunity of coupling Food and Data seemed like a no brainer.”
Chatterworks
“Shafiur is very intelligent about the space, a key member in building previous companies, easy to talk to and understands building his company is a team sport and wants hands-on help in order to not only survive but thrive. We look forward to working with Shafiur and taking this journey with him.”
