Why OBVC
Direct decisions
You deal with the decision-maker from the outset, without layers of approval. There is no investment committee behind the conversation. The person you speak to has the authority to commit capital, so decisions are clear and direct.
Principal capital
We invest from our own balance sheet, giving us the freedom to assess each opportunity on its merits. With no external investors to consult and no fixed fund mandate, we can follow on, hold through a listing or structure a position around the transaction.
OBVC is the venture investment arm of MOGAL,
the investment firm founded by Marcus O’Brien.
About
Marcus has spent more than 10 years investing in private markets, with a background at the highest levels of private real estate. OBVC applies that experience and network to a focused set of late-stage venture opportunities.
A small team and a direct line to the decision-maker allow us to respond quickly, work discreetly and close on the timetable of the transaction.
