Oceans Ventures

Oceans Ventures is an operator-led venture firm built in New York. We lead/co-lead pre-seed and seed and co-invest at Series A. With empathy, candor, and 25 years of operating muscle. We bring our New York DNA to every company we back, and we show up when it matters most. At most VC firms, you meet a partner, work with an associate, and hope the introductions are useful. At Oceans, every founder works with the full partner group on every meaningful decision: recruiting, go-to-market, capital, operations. Whoever's done it picks up the phone. How We Invest We lead and co-lead pre-seed and seed rounds. We co-invest at Series A. We take active roles. We stay close long after the check clears. We focus where technical depth and data-driven moats meet real market timing: AI Infrastructure, Agents, and Verticals; Space and Defense; Robotics; and Spatial. NYC, SF, and LA are our priority markets. Wherever a founder builds, they get our NYC playbook: grit, commercial discipline, and industry depth that translates into any market they need to sell into.
