Cumulative across OITF historySource: 2025–26 annual report figures supplied by Ownership Is The Future. Cumulative sales and investment are combined, not annual sales.
Transformation indicators
- Ownership Identity — seeing yourself as a creator and decision-maker.
- Economic Agency — real decisions about money, pricing, and resources.
- Ownership-Oriented Mobility — carrying that capacity into college, careers, and ventures.
Longer-term aspiration
A generation that enters adulthood able to create value, own assets, and shape what becomes possible—for themselves and for others.
A long-term goal, not a measured outcome.What the numbers represent
Behind every figure,
a piece of real work.
Businesses launched
Ventures like a Caribbean-inspired drink brought to Queens Night Market, a handmade clean-beauty line, and an athleisure brand built by a student-athlete.
Completions
Students who carried an idea through research, customer conversations, financial decisions, and a public presentation.
Sales & investment, combined
Across OITF’s broader history—money that customers and backers chose to put behind student ventures. Not an annual revenue figure.
