Immediate impact,
long-term success

Obsidian Venture Resources is a unique investment firm that prioritizes long-term business sustainability. We collaborate with business leaders who share our values and focus on enduring success.

Building lasting partnerships

We don't operate like a conventional fund that might be under pressure to allocate funds hastily. Instead, we function as a holding company. Our investment decisions are selective: we commit only when we're confident in a business's potential, its leadership's capabilities, and the possibility of achieving attractive IRR’s without the necessity of a sale.

Although we're certainly receptive to potential acquisition opportunities, our primary ambition is to nurture and see businesses flourish over extended periods.

How We Invest

Flexible investment opportunities

For each distinctive business we decide to invest in, OVR develops a unique and mutually beneficial deal structure.

The firm is willing to consider a variety of investment structures, including:

Minority Investments (≤49%)
Majority Investments (≥51%)
Control Investments (100%)

Our Guiding Principles

We move through the world of investment with some core beliefs in mind.
Here are the principles that steer our investment choices:

Values-Aligned Leadership

The focus is on partnerships with skilled and values-aligned founders or leadership teams.

Focus on Longevity

Short-lived market trends are bypassed in favor of more sustainable opportunities.

Prefer In-Office Cultures

In-office environments foster collaboration, mentorship and often result in a cohesive organization culture.

Patience

We're not bound by the urgency typical of traditional funds. We’ll only invest when we truly believe in an opportunity.

Growth Amplifiers

OVR is more likely to invest in companies where our involvement will expedite or magnify a company’s growth trajectory.

Balanced Deal Structures

Every deal is meticulously crafted to ensure all stakeholders (operators, OVR, and investors) derive value, promoting a win-win-win scenario.
