OpenHouse Ventures is a small studio that builds and runs its own apps — from renting a home in Southern Africa to opening up your wedding to the world. We make things we believe in, and we stick around to run them.
We keep things small on purpose. Every app has its own look, its own personality, and the room to be really good at one thing.
Lyvo helps landlords list homes, check tenants and create proper leases — then turn steady rent into room to grow. Renters apply once and reuse their verified profile anywhere.
Couples open a few seats at their wedding to friendly, vetted guests from other cultures — and put what they earn toward the day itself. Couples on the waitlist are making around $2,400 from their seats.
Saw a dish go viral and wished you could try it? EatLike shows you how to make it at home or find it nearby — ranked by how close the taste really is.
We don’t just back ideas and walk away. We build each app ourselves and run it day to day — which keeps us honest and the quality high.
Design, code, infrastructure, the business side — it all happens under one roof. Nothing gets lost in a hand-off.
Apps work best when they fit a real market. Lyvo is made for landlords in Southern Africa; OpenAisle for couples sharing their wedding across cultures.
A working app beats a polished pitch deck every time. We launch early, listen closely, and let real use guide what comes next.
We’re independent and founder-owned. We’re after apps people come back to for years — not a quick sale.
Partnerships, press, or plain curiosity — we’d love to hear from you. The door’s always open.
