Founders, please reach out over email: firstname [at] OVOFund.com // Gianfranco Filice is an Investment Partner with OVO Fund, a premier pre-seed stage institutional fund based in Menlo Park, California. OVO's first-check portfolio includes the likes of Wish (NASDAQ: WISH), Sourcegraph (DevOps, $2B+), Addepar (Fintech, $2B+), Everlaw (SaaS Legal, $2B+), and Signifyd (Fintech, $1.3B+). As an investor, Gianfranco applies his expertise in nurturing teams building emergent technologies, and maintaining conviction long when the hype and frenzy have died down. His investment focus is primarily centered around financial technology, artificial intelligence (LLMs/autonomous agents), and decentralized systems. His investment approach revolves around backing pioneering infrastructure technologies and enabling the shift from current digital platforms to up-and-coming innovations. Before venture investing, Gianfranco was a TMT investment banker at Barclays Capital in Menlo Park. Previous internship experience includes stints at McKinsey & Company, Goldman Sachs, and Matrix Partners. Gianfranco actively writes about technologies at the bleeding edge at https://filice.beehiiv.com, focusing on applying a first-principles approach. Gianfranco's approach to writing is demonstrated by the following: "Write to be useful, not to sound smart. The harder people have to work to understand what you've written, the less they'll want your input." When Gianfranco is not spending his time investing, he volunteers as a business mentor for SCORE's San Francisco Chapter. Gianfranco graduated with a degree in economics from Stanford University. He is conversationally proficient in Italian. He is a first-generation American and the first in his family to attend college.

Focused on helping early and growth-stage founders build enduring companies in core fintech (payments, commerce, banking, CFO tools, identity, fraud, asset management, etc) and B2B SaaS in adjacent verticals (insurance, real estate, supply chain, etc) and horizontals (AI, automation, data, security, privacy, compliance, etc.) Many of the founders I work with are building great companies beyond the traditional tech hubs.
