Company Operations

Founder process guides for operating an OCV company.

OCV stands up workplace applications, payroll, banking, and equity administration as part of the company incorporation process. After incorporation, many day-to-day administrative tasks are transitioned to the founders.

OCV support scope

OCV provides ongoing support as well as access to external finance and HR support partners. As the sole board seat holder, OCV continues to manage some key legal, financial, and administrative responsibilities until the founders raise external financing.
