Approach

What we are, and how we decide

Three things get us to yes. If none of them is true, you will hear that quickly.

01

We have no mandate, so the case has to be real

It is synergistic with a company we already back, it is a genuine category-changer, it is a subject the family or someone on the team knows and cares about deeply, or the founder knows the problem and the industry from hard-won experience.

02

The bridge is literal

We back founders in places like Tanzania, Palo Alto, Seoul and Ho Chi Minh City. The bridge is the network: co-investors such as Ethos Fund, operators in the room, and shared judgment across markets. Occasional travel happens when it truly helps; it is not how every relationship starts.

03

We are operators as much as investors

We are not hands-on with every portfolio company. We do have the operating experience when it is needed and requested. Several of us also sit on boards in and around the portfolio, which is where useful introductions come from, and which caps how much new we take on at any one time.

Portfolio

Deliberately few

So we can be useful to the founders we back.

Process

How this works

  1. 01

    You email us

    Send a short note and attach your deck to contact@obc.capital. Every deck is collected in one shared drive so the whole team sees it. No warm introduction required.

  2. 02

    We reply if it's a fit

    We will get back to you if we believe it is a good fit. We cannot reply to every deck that comes in.

  3. 03

    We talk

    Usually one or two conversations with the people who make the decision. There is nobody else to convince afterwards.

  4. 04

    Diligence, if we pursue

    If we are curious after the first meeting, we send follow-up questions on the deck, product and entity, and ask for the files you can share: financials, product materials, and anything else relevant. The more complete the pack, the faster this step moves.

  5. 05

    We decide

    Most decisions land inside two to four weeks from first conversation. Timing depends mostly on how prepared the materials are.
