Oceans Ventures is an operator-led venture firm based in New York, founded by Steven Rosenblatt (former President of Foursquare, sold Quattro Wireless to Apple) and Josh Rahn (opened Facebook's New York office in 2007). The firm leads and co-leads pre-seed and seed rounds and co-invests at Series A, primarily backing US-based technical or repeat founders in NYC, SF, and LA. Oceans brings 25 years of operating experience from companies like Apple, Facebook, and Google, focusing on hands-on support across hiring, go-to-market strategy, and capital structuring. The firm has made 60+ investments since inception, including Etched (AI inference hardware), Arya (AI medical billing), Observable Space (vertically integrated telescopes), and Jedify (no-code optimization platform). The full partner group—including Chief People Officer Glenn Handler (Sheryl Sandberg's first business-side recruiter at Facebook) and Founding Partners Sara Barek (operations) and Brian Lew (finance)—works directly with every founder on meaningful decisions.
