Kimberley is Founder and Managing Partner at Open Venture Capital (OVC), an early stage, consumer venture capital fund. The fund invests in health and wellness brands that have the ability to expand from product to platform via a unique product, marketing and/or community engagement approach. Open Venture Capital began as Open Venture Studio, and for several founders we continue to invest time and expertise to help build a clear value proposition and a path to scalability before investing capital.
