Oak is a full-stack investor. They have been with us from our early days all the way through breaking out past our growth stage. What's unique is that they've been useful at every stage, because they know our space so well. They’ve shown up when we needed them. Not many investors can do that - they’ve always been there for me. Truly real partners the whole time.

To affect change in healthcare, you have to innovate from within, not try to blow it up from the outside. This is hard for some investors to appreciate, but the Oak team has always gotten it. From our earliest meetings, I knew that they deeply understood the problems we set out to solve in women's and family health, and what it would take to solve them. They have been critical partners as we've navigated the complexities of our system. Oak has genuinely contributed to our success.

Oak is a great fit for founders who understand complex systems and are serious about forcing impact. Because Oak knows these systems too, they're useful across stages. They do a lot of growth equity, but they've been an excellent early-stage partner for us from day one. The common theme is how much they know about the market (in our case – the customers, constraints, and valuable problems to solve in the fintech sector), and the depth of their networks in those ecosystems.

I often say that Oak is the ideal investor: They are there when you need them and not when you don’t. The Oak team stands out with their genuine commitment to invest time in collaboratively addressing challenges.

Oak is not just a partner. They're an extension of our team. They seamlessly integrate, stepping in when needed and giving space when necessary. Their true value lies in their deep understanding of our business and extensive knowledge of the markets. With functional expertise across talent acquisition, go-to-market, product development, and finance, they're a formidable ally. If I ever start another company, Oak will undoubtedly be my first call.
