OCV starts companies around open source software projects.

This is the thesis behind our investment in @openCoreEMR—commercializing the most popular open source EHR in the world. For most of its history, contributing required clearing a technical bar most physicians couldn't reach. AI is changing that fast.

Paid acquisition is like pouring gasoline on a fire. If you’re starting with real heat, it amplifies what’s already working. Pour it on damp wood, and it will flare up and burn out.

Paid acquisition is a multiplier, not a foundation, and most early-stage founders turn it on too soon.

WHAT A COOL EXPERIENCE! My @openclaw set up my Hermes agent from @NousResearch for me. Here's the guide it followed: https://t.co/knA5L9j4GM

The guide should work with any coding agent really

We are the *only* provider that lets you self-host sandboxes with VM level isolation, and unlimited session length (no 24 hour caps)

Thanks @tereza_tizkova for curating this list!

Your diagrams know exactly where they are (and your sidebar should too):

→ Personal and team diagrams are now separated
→ Search integrated into folder navigation
→ Iconography reflects where you are in the hierarchy

Deploying an AI agent should not require a PhD in infrastructure.

Superserve: pip install, init, deploy. Three commands and your agent is running inside a persistent sandbox powered by Firecracker microVMs.

Isolated filesystem, network, and runtime for every agent. 🧵

"We use AI" means nothing anymore.

Showing the actual agent? That means something.

Public Agents let anyone see how your AI thinks, what it builds, and why it matters.

"Your AI shouldn't live behind a login."

We meant it. Public Agents are live — share your AI with a link, no signup needed.

Grapes Studio inside @ChatGPTapp 🚀

Generate emails & websites directly in ChatGPT and visually edit them without leaving the conversation.

.@mcpjams has the right wedge. What started as a fork of Anthropic's MCP Inspector is now the most popular MCP testing tool on GitHub.

We used it to build our own MCP integrations at OCV, and almost every company we work with has independently adopted it.

[Open Core Ventures @OpenCoreVenture]

.@richaberman says the internet is collapsing into a handful of agentic applications like Claude and ChatGPT.

If your app can be reached by an agent via MCP, API, or CLI, it won’t survive.

[Open Core Ventures @OpenCoreVenture]

MCP has won the protocol layer.

What gets built on top of it is still wide open. Every category that was rebuilt for the API era will get rebuilt again for the agentic era.

[CoChat AI @cochatai]

"We're using AI. We just can't see what anyone's doing with it."

Heard that from almost every team we talked to.

CoChat = AI collaboration with visibility and governance built in. Not bolted on.
