Vision
In what we believe
We see growth based on 4 pillars: people, strategy, capital and last, but not least, execution
OPX Ventures investment approach is to provide, besides the "usual" capital investment, also a dedicated operational team of specialist, to speed up the growth.
Beyond just a capital investment our goal is to help companies grow by providing exclusive operational support to scale faster and perform better and we believe in this way we are creating waterfall value for everybody.
Start-ups will get the required highly specialized support on far better cost-efficient model. Corporate development, support and active role in financing rounds and exit scenarios.
On the other hand, investors will have more confidence that we keep a closer eye and focus on the investments, thus will increase the follow on process.

Brief history
How did we started
Our first investment was in 2020, in SanoPass. Eventually it becomes also the first exit. Perfect sourcing process, we might say (also beginner's luck, as we call it).
At the beginning, it was a solo drive by Daniel Mereuta, who was involved in everything related to the investment, using
SeedBlink platform.
In the following months, the OPX Venture started to materialize, initially as a micro investment company. New people, interested in the startup world, join the initiative with funds and/or expertise.

As we speak
Status
In time, we have invested in 12 companies, and in 3 cases we also have follow-on investment. Total investment so far: 350.000 EUR.
What we have searched for. And still search:
Early-stage tech company or a tech enabled companies that already have a proven business model and excellent traction. The company already have revenue, clients and a market validated product.
We were and still are interested in: scale potential, with European or global ambitions and capabilities, long term competitive advantage, unique technology or technology use (products).
We are sector agnostic but with a strong preference on SaaS, AI, Cyber Security, Digital Transformation, FinTech, Advanced Analytics and Medical Tech.
