Created in 2007, OSCF is a $7.025 million venture capital fund that provides seed and start-up stage equity financing to small, technology-based Oklahoma companies.
OSCF looks and operates like a conventional venture fund with the specific goal of furthering economic activity and success in the state by bridging the early stage funding gap between personal sources and traditional sources of venture capital.
An innovative public-private partnership, OSCF operates under the Economic Development Act of 1987 and is managed by a separate subsidiary of i2E. State funding is provided through OCAST.
The Oklahoma Development Finance Authority and the Oklahoma Capital Investment Board are co-investors. OSCF seeks and accepts private investment which may offer state tax incentives and benefits.
