Frequently asked questions
What is the relationship between ODX Ventures and On Deck?
ODX Ventures was founded by Julian Weisser, a co-founder of On Deck, the talent network and accelerator platform that scaled rapidly during the 2020-2022 period. ODX is a separate legal entity, but its operating model borrows On Deck's community- and accelerator-based approach to sourcing founders. The fund leverages On Deck's extended network for deal flow and diligence support.
How does ODX Ventures source its investment opportunities?
ODX sources a significant portion of its deal flow through corporate accelerator programs it operates jointly with strategic partners. The ODX Flexport accelerator, run in partnership with the freight-forwarding company Flexport, feeds logistics and supply-chain founders directly into ODX's pipeline. The firm also co-invests with global seed funds like Samurai Incubate and corporate venture arms like Toyota Tsusho's Mobility 54, extending its sourcing reach into Japan and Africa.
Does ODX Ventures invest outside of North America?
Yes. While headquartered in Waterloo, Canada, ODX has an active investment footprint in Africa and Asia. It co-invested in Oneport 365, a Nigerian digital freight brokerage, alongside Mobility 54 (Toyota Tsusho) — a deal that illustrates its logistics and mobility focus in emerging markets. Co-investment relationships with Samurai Incubate also connect it to Japanese seed-stage deal flow.
