Trusting
Our Pillars
Together these four pillars form the operating system that powers how OSS creates, grows, and delivers value across the entire ecosystem.

Product leads the way. We create the right product for the market and its value-creation model, supported by our product, tech, and design teams who work hands-on with founders.
network
Our networker team is the centerpiece of the ecosystem, connecting startups, manufacturers, and partners, and dedicating its effort to maintaining and forging high-value relationships.
scale
We don’t just create startups; we invest in them. OSS operates the fund, driving scale through capital, growth, and global expansion
transform
The transformation team owns partner success. They represent the partners’ voice inside OSS and ensure our work translates into tangible, measurable value for them.

Our Values
Values is how we behave and what we believe in. When in doubt about a situation, we use those as guidelines on what to do.
trusting team excellence
Trust is the foundation. With our ecosystem, our founders, each other. We do what we say. We act as one team, not talented individuals. We give honest feedback and expect excellence in return. This is how the fund reaches top 5% performance.
fail learn succeed
We make bets others won’t. We tell truths others avoid. And when we fall short — which happens — we treat it as data, not defeat.That’s not a consolation. It’s a strategy.High risk is a feature, not a flaw. The founders who thrive here are the ones who move fast, adapt faster, and never confuse comfort with progress.
we eat what we kill
Skin in the game. We eat last, hate asymmetry, and only reward results—not busywork.
We win when our companies sell. Founders get real equity. The team shares upside. No room for high-certainty seekers.
compound the system
The system is the star. Few people, disproportionate impact. We automate everything, fire ourselves from low-value work, and only hire when unavoidable. Data first. AI first. Shared systems over individual ownership. Ego takes a backseat.
build something the world needs
We’re Builders, not talkers. We define new standards, not follow existing ones. We want impact we're proud of—on portfolio, products, and the world. 100K+ people use what we've built. Financial reward follows impact.
think and do it quick
Speed wins. We hate analysis paralysis—thinking that blocks doing. Good decisions made fast beat perfect decisions made late.
We value thinkers who do and doers who think. Same person, not separate roles. Think fast, test faster, deliver excellently.
Our companies hit 1.5M ARR by year two. What's the trade-off? We might move so fast we look like fools.
