About Okeanos

Okeanos is a national venture investor group, headquartered in the DC metro area.  

We fund several deals each month, investing $250K-$2M in seed, Series A and B rounds, unique private equity opportunities, and pre-IPO, M&A and top-tier growth rounds that are typically inaccessible to individual investors. Born from the spirit of our predecessor Riverbend Capital, Okeanos carries forward a rich 7+ year heritage of fostering growth.

With a focus on tech-enabled ventures, we are interested in innovations across multiple sectors, from healthtech, to artificial intelligence, CPG/beverage, SaaS and more. Our diverse group of members also represent these various sectors, offering their expertise and guidance throughout the investment process to our portfolio companies.

$15m+ deployed into 60+ high-growth startups

Our strategy is focused on diversified investments alongside strong lead investors across growth stages, sectors and geographies.

Okeanos has established strong relationships with venture capital firms nationwide and collaborates regularly with many firms and funds to uncover high growth investment opportunities and support our portfolio companies with later stage funding rounds.

Monthly Pitch Dinners with members joining from across the country

Our members work collaboratively together to source and select founders for each pitch dinner event, engage with founding teams following the presentations, and provide support for the presenting teams, regardless of whether Okeanos ultimately elects to make an investment.

Investment Opportunities sourced and supported by the collective group of founders, whose backgrounds include venture capitalists, executives, lawyers, developers and consultants.

Okeanos members source opportunities and apply their core competencies and unique professional experience in the decision making process with each opportunity under consideration.
