11. Investment Strategy As a catalyst, OUVC invests in 'university born' ventures as well as in market startups.   Stimulating university citizens to consider venturing by bringing startup projects into university on cooperation basis Focusing on low valued IP products/companies and activating/boosting them with the help of entrepreneurs (selected from handpicked pool of candidates) Striving for professional co-investors in most deals to ensure proper scaling support and risk mitigation. 

12. Our Services Tech validation and mentoring Typically, tech validation and mentoring have been overlooked in Hungarian deals due to lack of proofing structure for such services. Now OUVC makes all 7 tech faculties of Obuda University available for validation and mentoring on tech projects. Corporate services OUVC organizes corporate innovation services such as hackathons and challenge days where corporations can meet early-stage companies, startups working in their chosen industry field. The goal of such events can vary from scouting to early discovery of promising technologies. Full stack startup education OUVC offers a variety of courses and education programs on market validation, customer discovery, fundraising, lean startup development, investor and mentor board development, discoverability, international networking, international market research, platforms, and international market access. Pool services OUVC provides tailored services to startups in those ‘most dreaded’ areas where they are typically the weakest: accounting, legal, CFO function but also in marketing and IT development. These services bundled together and handled by OUVC frees up tremendous amount of time and energy that can be focused on product and business development. Business development Going international is always a goal but is typically more words than action. Our experienced team develops the international market access plan together with the startup and helps in executing the plan.
