Yes—those companies raised hundreds of millions… after they’d already passed key milestones:

• product launched
• team built
• strategy validated
• CEO appointed
• major backing secured

OVT isn’t there yet. That’s the point. The $400K raise wasn’t about scaling—it was a bridge, not a runway.

You’re acting like capital raises lead turnarounds. They don’t. Leadership and execution do.

The money follows once the strategy is believable.

Zip didn’t raise $400M out of thin air—they raised it after cutting 11 markets and proving focus under Cynthia Scott.

So yes, OVT didn’t raise $5M. Not yet.

But history shows:

First comes the leadership. Then comes the confidence. Then comes the capital.
