Investor - Open Core Ventures

About Open Core Ventures "As software has eaten the world, open source is eating software." - Peter Levine Commercial open source software companies have captured hundreds of billions in enterprise value, yet this represents only a fraction of the trillions delivered by OSS today. We're still in the early innings. GitLab co-founder and executive chair Sid Sijbrandij started Open Core Ventures (OCV) to accelerate this opportunity. We start companies around promising open source projects, the same approach that took GitLab from OSS project to IPO in seven years. We recruit founders and help them reach escape velocity. We've started 30+ companies around open source projects, including Fleet, FlowFuse, and Mermaid Chart. You can read more about our approach in our public handbook. The Investor Role at OCV As an Investor at OCV, you'll identify and research promising open source projects and build investment cases. Unlike traditional venture investing, your job doesn't stop there. You'll launch these companies as interim CEO, working directly with technical founders to drive early growth. Think part investor, part co-founder.
