Ascent Ventures has invested in OVA’s pre-seed funding of StellarX. This content creation tool helps businesses and individuals to create an accessible and collaborative virtual workspace. Ascent isn’t the first to invest in StellarX. Other collaborators are META, Dell, NVIDIA and Microsoft for Startups. “We’re excited to partner with Ascent Capital Partners and welcome them at OVA as we’re building StellarX”, says OVA’s CEO Harold Dumur.
OVA is recreating virtual reality with StellarX, says the company in a statement. They do this already for industry giants such as Lockheed Martin, Nikon, Bombadier, and the Royal Canadian Navy. Ascent Ventures has agreed to the funding after spending the last year in the NVIDIA Inception Program. Now, CEO of OVA Harold Dumur and co-founders of Ascent Jon Loeffler and Mark Pomeroy have agreed to move forward with equity financing.
Investing in StellarX
Other collaborators of StellarX are META, Dell, NVIDIA, Microsoft for Startups, VIVEX, and ScaleAI. But Harold Dumur is excited to also add Ascent Ventures to the collaboration. He states, “We’ve been impressed by the team’s blend of business empathy, technical chops, and pragmatism. Jon and Mark have assembled a group of partners with experience across marketing, virtual worlds, defense, consumer society, and enterprise sales. With that funding, we’re looking for more superstars to join the team.”
Jon Loeffler shares, “OVA sits on the edge of cutting innovation in technology and, we believe, they are currently changing how multinational corporations approach virtual reality and its ability to enable a more immersive training experience. Our involvement with OVA has evolved into a partnership and we appreciate all the work they do to create collaborative spaces for select corporations.” Mark Pomeroy agreed and added, “We are excited to step forward with Harold and his team of innovators, designers, and creatives.”
Taking the metaverse to the next level
Ascent Ventures is focused on selecting investments with both cutting-edge technology and groundbreaking teams that manifest a high degree of trust and determination. With OVA, Ascent has discovered both. OVA has a team of professionals and creatives who will take StellarX, creative virtual meeting spaces, and collaborative work areas to create an immersive experience for all.
