Investment Thesis

Octave operates as a founder-centric early-stage fund inspired by Octave Chanute’s supporting role in the Wright Brothers’ pioneering flight. The firm’s philosophy centers on playing ‘a small part in supporting enormous ambitions.’ As former founders themselves, the team understands the startup journey as ‘equal parts disaster and glory’ and commits to assisting founders both tactically and personally across all stages of company building.
