Oceans

We’ve been in your seat. Now we’re in your corner.
An operator-led venture firm built in NY. We lead and co-lead pre-seed and seed and co-invest at Series A.

[Etched @Etched]

We're coming out of stealth.

We've built our first racks after a successful A0 tapeout, $1B+ in customer contracts, and $800m raised.

Early customer tests show us achieving SOTA throughput, latency, and power efficiency on inference workloads.

Our first racks ship this summer.

Looks like a great event - see below!!! Time to Hack!!!!

[Etched @Etched]

We're excited to partner with @Cognition_Labs @Mercor_AI @CoreWeave and @AnthropicAI to host an inference-time compute hackathon, featuring >$60K in cash prizes and >1 exaflop of free compute.

[Steven Rosenblatt @stevenjr76]

There are founders that are just so bold, so curious, so ambitious in their vision and that's why we invested in @Etched.

Institutional LP’s rely on other GP’s for deal flow and diligence. Amazes me how few actually speak directly to founders. If they actually spoke to founders, pretty confident there would be a large increase in $$$ going to emerging managers and earlier stage funds when the support is needed most.

[Steven Rosenblatt @stevenjr76]

@oceansventures is doing a venture/founder event in Amagansett tomorrow night. We have a great group of people. If you are around and are a founder or VC partner, DM me.

[Steven Rosenblatt @stevenjr76]

It’s a summer Friday, closing of the quarter and first half of the year, and we just closed another co-lead investment that we @oceansventures are so pumped about. Can’t wait till we can share more. The hustle never stops as an early seed fund!
