Sierra Ventures is an early-stage venture firm investing in AI Infrastructure, Vertical AI, Physical Intelligence, and Frontier and Deep Tech. Founded in 1982, with over $2 billion in assets under management, Sierra has built one of the strongest and longest-lasting enterprise networks in venture.
That network helps founders win. Our CXO Advisory Board and Annual CXO Summit, now in its 21st year, bring Fortune 1000 executives together with our portfolio to discuss the future of the enterprise. Our Engineering & Product Leaders Council and AI Lab Forum connect founders with the buyers, builders, and acquirers who shape their growth.
Through Inception, we partner with founders at the very beginning.
Oceanic Ventures, Inc. opened its doors in 1990 with one thing in mind — offering professional scuba diving instruction, travel, equipment sales & repairs with exceptional client service. It has been our goal to be the leading full-service retailer in the Houston area specializing in small classes and personal service. We also like to say that if it is taught in scuba, we teach it! ™
Oceanic Ventures, Inc. is the premiere dive operation in Texas. As the first full Service IANTD Technical Training Facility in Texas, we were the first Nitrox Training facility, and the first Nitrox and Trimix Blending facility in the area. We remain the only IANTD Platinum Technical Training Facility in Texas and were awarded a Diamond Facility award by IANTD. We are also an SSI Platinum Instructor Training Facility, a NASDS Gold Dealer, and a Technical Diving International Platinum Training Facility. Oceanic Ventures is the only facility in the area with fully closed and semi-closed Rebreather Instructors on staff. Our staff remains the most qualified instructional staff in the industry with most of our instructors and dive coordinators having advanced certifications in Cavern, Cave, Wreck, Technical and Trimix diving.
