Ocean Crest Ventures is a venture fund that purchases income-generating real estate in high-growth communities, with a particular emphasis on areas of the country with increasing levels of projected net domestic migration. Our emerging portfolio includes properties in Southwest Florida, the Connecticut Shoreline and Southern Maine; several others are being evaluated for acquisition. 
 
Supported by strong local teams, the cash-flow of these real estate investments are then invested into early-stage, high-growth entrepreneurial startups. Thus far, we have taken equity and/or paid advisory positions with founders in Small Business Consulting, Grant Consulting, and the expanding Senior Services sector. Several others are under consideration. This will allow the fund to create a sustained pathway to community investments without corresponding risk of the founding capital. Once fully deployed, the fund expects to generate returns sufficient to place investments in three to five community startups annually. 
 
As proven entrepreneurs, we conduct a rigorous due diligence process which includes two proprietary OCV assessments: 
 
Our “Ocean Crest Founder Potential Score” provides:  

1. Each owners personality type and key leadership strengths 

2. Anticipated partner or family obstacles preventing success in the venture 

3. Clarity of founders vision, timeframe and ideal career plan for their exit strategy 

Our “Oceans of Opportunity Assessment Tool" offers: 

1. A precise business valuation; 

2. Future upside report and addressable market summary;

3. Essential open priorities required for a positive outcome (e.g. edit operating agreement, form or refine Board of Directors, C Suite and leadership team, capital needs, etc.).
