TRUE PARTNERSHIP
Matt Benson
Founder & CEO, eFuse
"OIF has been instrumental in my entrepreneurial journey — first as a college student, taking a chance on me as an intern, then mentoring me as an Entrepreneur in Residence, offering not only strategic guidance but also invaluable access to a wide network of expertise. When I launched eFuse, Bill became one of our earliest investors — his belief in our vision provided the confidence and capital we needed to get off the ground. More than just an investor, OIF has been a true champion of young founders, and I’m living proof of how OIF empowers the next generation of innovators."

Their world-renowned GTM expertise and hands-on, collaborative approach was like bringing a superhero onto our team, equipping us with unparalleled power and capability.

This level of support is invaluable, something money can’t buy, and is crucial for the development of an early-stage startup navigating the highs and lows of its journey."
