Built by someone
who lived it.
Chris Kuselias is a founder, operator, and investor. He built Making Waves Collective because he saw what happened when the right people gathered in the right environment — and wanted to create that intentionally.
From the community to the coaching program to the investment fund — every tier of this ecosystem was built around one belief: the right environment accelerates everything.

Capital earned through
community.
Ocean Crest Ventures is the investment arm of Making Waves. The strongest founders from the Cohort receive early-stage capital from OCV — backing builders across all industries who have already proven themselves.
OCV does not take outside applications. Investment is earned by going through the ecosystem — from the community, through the Founders Cohort, to the fund.
