Plow Ventures (formerly Tenzing.vc)

Plow Ventures, formerly known as Tenzing.vc (Tenzing Capital), is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2021 and based in Wichita, Kansas. It is a solo-GP operation led by founder and General Partner Josh Oeding, who before launching the firm spent five years leading NXTUS to grow the regional innovation economy across Kansas and the Midwest, and from 2008 to 2018 held innovation and technology leadership roles at Koch Industries. The firm invests primarily at the pre-seed and seed stage in US-based B2B startups, with a focus on vertical SaaS and fintech, and broader interest in cybersecurity, payments, digital health, analytics, cloud infrastructure, marketplaces and AI, generally as a co-investor. Individual checks are small, roughly $75K to $250K per deal with a sweet spot around $150K, while the firm participates in seed rounds that can range up to about $2M in total size. As of early 2025 the firm had invested in about six companies, with notable holdings including Ovation and WorkTorch, and its most recent disclosed investment was in Mobly as part of a seed round on January 23, 2025. The firm has since rebranded from Tenzing.vc to Plow Ventures, operating under the plowvc.com domain. By writing small first checks into Midwest and US B2B software and fintech founders, Plow Ventures backs companies at the earliest stages and participates alongside larger lead investors as those rounds come together.
