Oval opens early access for managers

July 15, 2026 2 min read

We're inviting a first group of managers to build their strategies on Oval ahead of a wider launch. Here's who it's for and how it works.

Today we’re opening early access for managers. This is the first step toward a wider launch, and for now it is intentionally small. We want to work closely with an initial group, learn from how they use the product, and get the experience right before we open it more broadly.

Who this is for

Early access is aimed at people who already have a clear investment approach and want a way to run it transparently. That includes analysts and traders building their first public record, established managers looking for a cleaner way to show their work, and domain experts turning a genuine informational edge into a strategy others can follow.

You do not need an institutional pedigree. You do need a point of view you can articulate and a willingness to have your results recorded as they happen.

What you can do in early access

During this phase you can set up a strategy, define how it is run, and begin building a track record on the platform. The emphasis is on the fundamentals: getting your strategy configured, seeing how it is presented to investors, and giving us direct feedback on what works and what gets in the way.

Some parts of the product are still being built. We would rather show you the real thing as it takes shape than wait for everything to be finished, so expect rough edges and expect us to move quickly on them.

How to join

Early access is invitation-based to start. If you request access we will reach out as spots open, and we are prioritizing managers who can describe their approach clearly and are ready to run it in the open.

We will keep sharing what we learn as the group grows. If this sounds like the right fit, request access and we will be in touch.
