Why OHOU exists

Preston entered entrepreneurship ecosystems without the inherited vocabulary — VC, MVP, ICP, cap tables, pitch decks. The words were foreign. The ambition was not.

What changed him was access: rooms he could enter, modern technology he could use, people who would build and teach beside him, relationships that opened doors, and the chance to learn by making things.

That experience made one belief undeniable: access, relationships, tools, education, and opportunity can dramatically accelerate what another human being can become.

How do we institutionalize that access for other people?

OHOU is the answer to that question — an institution larger than any one founder story.
