Ooga builds, advises and invests only in Networks and Marketplace businesses. They have specialized in these sorts of network effect businesses because they benefit the most from the type of non-linear growth that Ooga can help with.

Ooga provides expertise in growth and product design, hands-on mentorship, and access to capital. Product iteration and rapid growth is the goal.

After establishing an advisor relationship, Ooga typically invests $25K - $100K of the founders’ own capital, and Ooga partners might put in another $150K - $900K

From time to time, Ooga also builds companies from scratch and then spins them out. Examples include IronPearl, WonderHill, Tickle, and Jiff.
