About James H. Spann, Jr., MBA and Boyd Street Ventures:

Since 2015, I’ve been working on OU’s campus as an active alumnus. I’ve worked with leaders, faculty, and students to satisfy a unique need within our entrepreneurial programs.

Over the years, we noticed fantastic business ideas and technologies start right here on campus. These innovations showed us that our talented alumni, students, faculty, and staff could solve some of the world’s biggest existing problems. I realized with the right resources and capital in place we can bring OU innovations to the world.

That’s precisely what I set out to do. I’m excited to announce the launch of Boyd Street Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on investing in OU and Oklahoma innovations. We’re supporting individuals affiliated with the University of Oklahoma through scale-up resources and capital to help these innovations reach new heights.

I know many of you I’m connected with share the same passion for OU that I have, which is why I’d love to speak with you about how you can help us support the university. If you’re an OU alumnus looking to invest in high-growth opportunities, I’d love to meet with you about how you can be a part of our mission.

I can’t wait to take on this journey with you.
