History The Most Experienced Venture Capital Firm In The Northwest We formed our first fund in 1983, and have since formed and completed six additional funds. We’ve seen up and down cycles, open and closed IPO windows, bubbles build and burst. That said, we can’t think of a better time than now to start a company. Today we’re investing OVP VII and the OVP VII Entrepreneurs Fund, which together closed on over $250 million in 2006. The Entrepreneurs Fund brings leading entrepreneurs—many of whom pioneered venture-backed Pacific Northwest based companies—into the OVP fold. These industry leaders co-invest in every project we take on. They participate in the building of major enterprises by providing deal flow, contacts and seasoned insight.
