Ocean VC is an investment fund that specializes in early-stage ventures, providing smart money to courageous entrepreneurs with heart. They focus primarily on SaaS startups, particularly in B2B services related to management, technology, and mobility. Their ethos is grounded in their extensive experience as entrepreneurs on both sides of the ocean, enabling them to empathize with and support the founders they invest in – especially through challenging times. Ocean VC's investment strategy includes injecting capital in pre-seed and seed stages and commonly participates in subsequent rounds, which reflects their commitment to fostering long-term relationships with their portfolio companies. With an investment range from $100,000 to $5,000,000 and a sweet spot investment of about $1,500,000, they actively engage in the scalability, product-market fit, and internationalization aspects of the businesses they back. Their distinctive model involves re-investing 20% of their profits into social and environmental impact projects, emphasizing their dedication to societal progress and ecological consciousness. The fund values not just financial support but also seeks the right synergy between entrepreneurs and investors, and even extends opportunities for strategic individuals or organizations to join as Limited Partners under certain conditions, integrating a level of involvement that exceeds merely financial contributions. Testimonials from CEOs, such as those from Optimus Price, Tuvalum, Entropy, Sendai, Seedrocket, Around, Methinks.ai, and Cornershop, highlight the key role Ocean VC has played in providing strategic advice, helping prioritize strategy, and even dealing with financial hurdles.
