Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about our services, involvement and unique approach for founders and teams.

Who is OAV University for?

OAV University is designed for early-stage founders who have a strong vision but aren't yet ready for our full investment partnership. Ideal candidates have a minimum viable product or prototype, initial market validation, and are actively working on their startup.

What's the difference between the Essential and Premium tiers?

The Essential tier provides group-based mentorship and basic access to our resources, ideal for founders at the earliest stages. The Premium tier offers more personalized 1:1 support, complete resource access, and prioritized consideration for our investment partnership.

How long is the program?

OAV University is structured as a 2-month program to maximize growth and prepare for our investment partnership or other funding opportunities.

Does completing OAV University guarantee investment?

While OAV University is designed to prepare founders for our investment partnership, completion does not guarantee investment. However, graduates receive priority consideration and are significantly better positioned to qualify for our $350K bridge round model.

What kind of time commitment is required?

Founders should expect to dedicate 4-6 hours per week to OAV University activities, including mentorship sessions, curriculum work, and networking events. The program is designed to complement your ongoing startup operations, not distract from them.
