Investment Criteria
At Oval Ventures, we partner with businesses across all stages of growth, providing flexible financing solutions tailored to each company’s unique needs. Our approach is designed to deliver capital that scales with your business, whether you’re experiencing rapid expansion, navigating a short-term liquidity challenge, or seeking to fund strategic opportunities. We assess opportunities through a holistic lens, considering operational strength, market potential, and financial performance, rather than relying solely on traditional credit metrics.
This enables us to support founders and management teams with the right mix of capital, guidance, and flexibility to drive sustainable growth.
Key Investment Parameters
Geography
Our investments are primarily focused on businesses in the United States, where we see diverse opportunities across a wide range of industries.
EBITDA
Unlike many traditional lenders, Oval Ventures does not impose rigid EBITDA minimums. Even companies with limited or negative cash flow may still qualify for private credit, giving growing businesses access to capital when traditional options may not be available.
Industry
Our approach is industry agnostic, meaning we are open to working with businesses across a wide range of sectors-from manufacturing & distribution to services, technology, & consumer products.
Structure
We offer a variety of financing structures tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. These include senior secured and junior/mezzanine capital, asset-based and cash-flow lending, as well as revenue-based financing. Our goal is to provide the right balance of flexibility and security, ensuring that our capital solutions align with your growth trajectory and support long-term business success.
Why Work With Oval Ventures?
