Oakura
Oakura maximizes the growth of early stage ventures. At Oakura, we believe that at an early seed stage, founders should only focus on one thing: finding their product-market fit through rapid iterations. Everything that is not creating direct value-add for customers is not helping the company grow, and therefore should be secondary. We also believe that there is no need to re-invent the wheel again and again, particularly if it’s around a topic considered secondary. For most of the challenges that a startup has in its early stage, the knowledge and solutions are available. But the effort it takes to develop the answers yourself, or to find the individual that knows how to do it (or has the relevant industry insights or contacts, or cutting-edge technology know-how) can cost precious time. We also believe that everyone involved in helping a startup should have a long-term, sustainable value-creation in mind - and in return, should be fairly compensated and able to participate in the potential upside. That’s why we’ve built the Oakonomy, a marketplace where startups can create value faster thanks to a strong, incentivized ecosystem of successful entrepreneurs, investors, industry and technology experts.
