Get to know OSV
OSV combines Jim’s deeply rooted interest in all things art, science, investing and tech with his long-held desire to establish positive sum scenarios designed to help promising creators and their inspiring ideas succeed, regardless of age, location, job history or level of education.
What we stand for
We only seek out win-win opportunities where everyone has a vested interest from the jump and will ultimately share in the spoils and successes.
We take calculated risks with the end goal of creating something original, inspiring and unexpected.
We provide the data, tools and resources creators need to remain focused on always keeping their eye on the ball.
We thrive on the collective, shared desire to perpetually push towards executing on each stage of an idea’s development, from the initial idea to the finished product.
We wholeheartedly embrace diversity across each and every one of its beautiful shapes and forms. Because when physical barriers and personal biases are removed, that’s when true innovation really starts to happen.
We’re providing a one-year, $100,000 grant for ambitious creators in any domain who want to build something great. You will also get access to our network of founders, investors, and experts to support you in bringing your project to life.
Adventures
We are a quant-minded and creative-hearted investment company which primarily invests in early stage opportunities. We’re not afraid of venturing into new territories, and are interested in original thinkers who are compelled to do things differently.
Films
The old way of making movies made it all but impossible for outsiders and newcomers to break through. We’re working with new and undiscovered talents to get their films made — and share the profits with them.
Media
As well as continuing to grow our podcast Infinite Loops and our Substack into some of the best places on the internet for exploring and engaging with transformative ideas, we are also building a new media ecosystem consisting of carefully curated content.

I started out by helping grow Infinite Loops from an already amazing podcast to hopefully an even better one.
Now doing the same for OSV. As someone who detests corporate titles, I went with the title of “Mr. Meeseeks” as I like the idea of doing what needs to be done, and then getting out of the way.
