Our portfolio
I've been fortunate to partner with the Counterpart team across three different startups over the past decade. Whether it's jumping on a plane at a moment's notice for big sales meetings or providing strategic guidance, they've consistently proven to be more than just investors; they're true partners who've been there at every step of each journey.

Counterpart invested early with firm conviction and have been important to our growth since we began, their partnership has been indispensable.

Companies don’t always have the good fortune of finding investors who align with their culture and values, but when they do, it’s magic. We feel lucky to have Counterpart involved in Oxide.
