Thesis
OVP Venture Partners was an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 1983, with headquarters in Kirkland, Washington, and an office in Portland, Oregon. The firm focused on information technology, software, digital media, communications, security, semiconductors, and clean tech, later expanding into digital biology. They preferred companies with defensible intellectual property and a capital-efficient model, primarily investing in the western United States, especially the Cascadia region. OVP typically led or co-led Series A rounds and invested selectively at the seed stage, with growth-stage investments reserved for follow-on rounds. The firm managed seven funds totaling over $750 million, with its final fund being $250 million in 2006. Their typical check size ranged from $1 million to $5 million. The firm is now out of business and permanently closed to new investments. The firm achieved 6 IPOs and 51 acquisitions throughout its history.
