Investment Stage
Ideally with MVP and post revenue. At minimum with some product-market fit and/or use case validation. For Digital Diagnostics or Therapeutic applications, we would be looking for technical validations in the form of grants and regulatory approvals. Litmus test for our investment stage is the likelihood of current specialization and solution of the company making US dominant fund raising feasible.

What they say
Testimonials
''Cross Ocean Ventures have lived the founders’ life, met all the challenges of turning an idea into an enterprise, and now celebrate its success by supporting others. Their experience is as invaluable as it is inspiring to those of us on the same journey.''
Heather Dahl
Founder and CEO of Indicio
''Startups need investment to succeed, however, the source of investment matters as much as the amount. As a company that has founders that have exited themselves, Cross Ocean Ventures also contributes to our growth by bringing the right ideas and understanding our needs. Cross Ocean is one the best examples of investment that acts as a whole with you.''
Alex Lirtsman
Co-Founder and CEO of CorralData
“The thing we love about Zeynep, Serhat and Cross Ocean is how they make us feel so comfortable. It is incredible how, coming from another country, we expected investors to scrutinize us and be far more distant. We never felt that way with Serhat or Zeynep. They went out of their way to support us through patiently listening to us, sharing their experiences as immigrant founders themselves, making very relevant introductions and also making us feel very much like family. We are lucky to have such investors, to be honest.”
Archana Shah
Co-founder of Eunimart
