Investment Thesis
LiveOak is a regionally concentrated, founder-first venture firm that doubles down on Texas as a source of long-term, category-defining companies. They explicitly target early-stage technology and tech-enabled services businesses where the Founder/CEO is based in Texas, prefer to lead or co-lead rounds, and write initial checks in the $500K–$10M range. The firm emphasizes hands-on company building — providing strategic advice, networks and operational support — with a multi-year horizon: “The companies we invest in today, we are looking for them to be category leaders in six to nine years. It’s a long-term investment.”
