Old Well Labs (OWL), an AI-powered platform that helps allocators and investment managers find, monitor, and connect with one another, announced a new strategic investment from Capital Allocators, Teamworthy Ventures, and Hammoud Ventures. The oversubscribed fundraising round was led by existing investor Nellore Capital, with participation from TFJ Capital and several other industry-focused investors.
OWL aggregates data from thousands of global sources and transforms it into structured, searchable intelligence. The platform enables allocators and managers to discover relevant firms, monitor meaningful changes across the investment landscape, and build stronger, more informed relationships.
Founded by Campbell Wilson, Zak May, Megan White, and Grant Carney, OWL was originally developed as an internal tool and has since evolved into a widely adopted platform across the institutional investment community. Clients include endowments, foundations, OCIOs, family offices, pensions, and sovereign wealth funds such as Makena Capital, Pathstone, GEM Investments, DUMAC, Vanderbilt University, East Rock Capital, Star Magnolia, Investure, HF Capital, and Virginia Tech.
The newly raised capital will support continued platform innovation, expanded data coverage, and the growth of OWL’s Charlotte-based team. The team brings experience from Duke’s investment office, GEM Investments, Goldman Sachs, Bain, the Federal Reserve, Google, and Amazon.
As part of its expansion strategy, OWL is introducing a curated group of fund managers to the platform. Participation will primarily be driven by invitations from its allocator community, though managers may also apply to join through the company’s website.
