Product & Technology
We design, build, and deploy the product. You don't need to code. Launch with something real—ready to serve customers.
There are people with the grit to start something, but not the infrastructure to scale it. We back them.
If you've been stuck at 01—missing product, operations, positioning, or capital—let's build something together.
Stop pitching. Start growing.
Operation & Automation
We build systems and automations so you scale without getting buried. Your time goes to growth. Operations run themselves.
Brand & Positioning
We build positioning and go-to-market. We manage the machinery needed to scale. You become the voice with a mission.
Capital & Partnership
OQVA invests as your operational cofounder for 0→1. We back sustainable businesses—no exit pressure, no dilution treadmill. You're not fundraising; you're building to operate.
The offer.
You bring work ethic, ambition to own and operate long-term, willingness to be the public face, and passion for the market. We bring product, operations, positioning, and capital—for sustainable businesses, not venture-scale exits.
You own the mission & and the media presence. We build everything else.

Clear structure. Real ownership.
Equity
You take founder equity (typically 30–70%). OQVA takes operational cofounder equity. You own your venture. No exit pressure—build to operate.
Capital
We invest to launch, not to fuel multiple rounds. You don't need to fundraise to start. If growth later needs more capital, we discuss together—no obligation to scale venture-style.
Autonomy
You lead on market and message. We lead on product and operations. Major decisions we make together.
An idea with grit beats a perfect idea with doubt.
We don't back ideas. Ideas are cheap. Everyone has ideas.
We back people with the grit to execute at an uncomfortable edge. Grit is showing up when it's hard. It's doing the work nobody else will. It's building something real, not just pitching something imaginary.
What makes ideas grow is a founder willing to do the work, and a support system that removes everything getting in the way. That's what OQVA is.
