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.
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:
We move through the world of investment with some core beliefs in mind.
Here are the principles that steer our investment choices:
The focus is on partnerships with skilled and values-aligned founders or leadership teams.
Short-lived market trends are bypassed in favor of more sustainable opportunities.
In-office environments foster collaboration, mentorship and often result in a cohesive organization culture.
We're not bound by the urgency typical of traditional funds. We’ll only invest when we truly believe in an opportunity.
OVR is more likely to invest in companies where our involvement will expedite or magnify a company’s growth trajectory.
Every deal is meticulously crafted to ensure all stakeholders (operators, OVR, and investors) derive value, promoting a win-win-win scenario.
OVR offers an opportunity to diversify an investment portfolio and access opportunities not readily available in public markets or traditional fund models. This approach allows for greater flexibility and alignment of interests, as investments are made on a deal-by-deal basis.
OVR targets a minimum internal rate of return (IRR) of 20% for all deals.
Instead of chasing the occasional "homerun," we target consistent, steady returns while prioritizing stable growth.
OVR invests in a variety of businesses across different industries, giving exposure to a unique set of assets.
OVR is transparent about its investment process and provides regular updates to investors.
Investors have the option to evaluate opportunities on a deal-by-deal basis.
If our investors have domain expertise or a network that could positively influence outcomes, we welcome engagement with our portfolio companies.
Partnering with OVR not only offers business owners financial stability and access to a vast network of resources, but it also brings the expertise and active involvement of experienced entrepreneurs dedicated to supporting and guiding the business towards success. This collaborative approach can provide protective measures against risks and ensure that the business thrives under trusted guidance.
We are not looking to flip businesses quickly for a profit. Instead, we want to partner with businesses that we can help to grow and thrive for the long term.
We believe that our involvement can help to accelerate the growth of our portfolio companies.
Our team has a proven track record of success in the business world. We are passionate about helping our portfolio companies achieve their goals, and we are always willing to share our knowledge and experience.
We believe that all stakeholders should benefit from a successful investment. Our deal structures are designed to ensure that everyone wins.
OVR's commitment extends beyond mere financial input. Our involvement is holistic, offering not just capital but also strategic guidance and unwavering support. Our portfolio companies benefit from a collaborative partnership, with OVR actively participating in problem-solving, strategy formulation, and vision setting.
