Studio
At the core of innovation, our studio cultivates the seeds of tech ingenuity into tomorrow's success stories.
What is a venture studio?
A venture studio is a crucible for innovation, a place where ideas and execution converge. Unlike incubators or accelerators, a venture studio is actively involved in the businesses it helps create. It doesn’t just offer support – it builds companies from the ground up, providing capital, mentorship, and operational support to transition from idea to execution to expansion. O'Neil Ventures stands out by specializing in propelling underrepresented entrepreneurs into the technology forefront.

We believe that innovation flourishes in diverse environments. Therefore, we are fully committed to providing comprehensive resources, unwavering support, and abundant opportunities to individuals who have historically been marginalized in the tech industry. Our paramount objective is to dismantle barriers and foster an inclusive ecosystem where individuals from all backgrounds can excel and make substantial contributions to the development of pioneering technology companies.
