ℹ️ About this handbook

The OCV Handbook serves as a comprehensive guide for founders building open core companies and an operational guide for OCV employees. It includes step-by-step processes, templates, and strategic guidance from company formation through growth stages. We document our policies, processes, and points of view in our public handbook so people outside of OCV can learn and benefit from our frameworks. The handbook is continuously updated to reflect the current status of operations and is subject to change.

⚠️ This is a public handbook. Do not add personal or confidential information. For security reasons, we do not name our internal systems, vendors, or list direct contact details. This document should not be relied on for legal, investment, or tax advice.
