Ocular (Openspace Capital)

Check: No Derek-specific check range is public. Openspace states it invests in tech-native and tech-enabled Southeast Asian companies across early and growth stages, while Ocular historically invested in crypto funds and projects. Third-party range estimates are not treated as authority; confirm strategy and round fit directly.

Derek invests across Openspace's early-stage and frontier-technology work and contributes to Ocular's crypto research. His writing frames DeFi as a composable, open-source financial stack; studies underdeveloped risk protection; and tracks infrastructure that lets blockchains coordinate physical resources, private data and AI. The consistent lens is whether open technical primitives improve access, trust, composability or data utility in a commercially credible Southeast Asian or global market.

BoxGroup

Check: Up to $1M at the firm level; Greg has described current checks around $750K-$1M, with smaller checks possible when that is what secures the right company.

Greg practices BoxGroup's high-volume, collaborative earliest-stage strategy: get to exceptional people before a polished deck, optimize for being in the right company rather than target ownership, and make it easy for both founder and investor to reach a fast, conviction-based yes. He looks for founder-market fit and companies capable of defining categories, while remaining syndicate-friendly rather than insisting on leading rounds.

BoxGroup

Check: Up to $1M at the firm level; BoxGroup aims to make the first commitment, invests alongside other firms, and reserves capital for follow-ons.

Ava invests within BoxGroup's generalist earliest-stage strategy: backing people and raw products from pre-seed through Series A, often before conventional traction exists. The firm emphasizes founder-market fit, category-defining visions, and teams positioned at the beginning of new or changing markets.

Shorooq Partners

Shorooq says its venture strategy is to invest across sectors and stages, backing founders in MENA growth markets as early as the idea or pre-seed stage. The firm emphasizes locally embedded partners, deep regional knowledge, and a value-focused approach to identifying exceptional outlier founders; Abdul's profile adds a strategic lens shaped by real estate and infrastructure development and investment.
