One Way Ventures

About One Way Ventures

One Way Ventures is an early-stage VC fund focused on backing exceptional immigrant founders We believe immigration naturally self-selects for the entrepreneurial-minded, and that the experience itself prepares founders for the parallel hardships that accompany entrepreneurship. Because of this, it is our thesis that immigrant founders have a competitive advantage when it comes to building impactful, global companies. We like to invest in tech-enabled companies with the potential for global reach and impact. Some of our current areas of interest include; logistics, mobility, fintech (especially payments and infrastructure layer), artificial intelligence (especially machine vision), prop-tech, future of work, and robotics. We love founders who: (1) have been shaped by their immigration experience (2) demonstrate a high degree of grit and resilience (3) have a track record of excellence in their previous endeavors (4) demonstrate credibility in the problems they’re tackling and (5) have a big vision What we believe -We believe all people are entitled to equal opportunity regardless of where they were born. -We believe immigration is a formative, empowering, and entrepreneurial experience. -We believe the resilience and grit of immigrant founders drive their extraordinary results.
