At One Ventures

At One Ventures invests in deep tech companies that aim to upend the unit economics of established industries while dramatically reducing their planetary footprint. Their core investment thesis revolves around the "Triad": Deep Tech, Superior Unit Economics, and Environmental Returns. They seek companies that provide solutions with superior unit economics, ideally cutting costs by more than 3x the industry margin, leading to both financial and environmental gains. They focus on areas where they can achieve wins based on physics fundamentals: matter, energy, time, and space. They aim to back companies capable of scaling products that are significantly less expensive and better for the environment, not just environmentally friendly options that require a "green premium". The firm seeks companies that are creating a net positive impact on nature, focusing on areas like air, water, soil, and biodiversity. They believe that solving the climate crisis requires backing deep tech companies that have entirely new ways to produce what the economy needs to thrive. They are willing to take a long-term approach to their investments, looking for solutions that will benefit humanity for centuries to come. At One Ventures emphasizes supporting their founders with deep technical and practical expertise. Their team possesses backgrounds in physical sciences, engineering, manufacturing, and finance, enabling them to thoroughly evaluate and support physical/hardware businesses. Additionally, they provide full-time experts in areas such as Talent, Operations, Marketing, IP/Patent Strategy, and Manufacturing to assist their portfolio companies. They believe that current climate and economic systems are breaking and that entrepreneurs are the only ones who can fix it. They are looking for entrepreneurs who can see systems clearly, intervene wisely, and build solutions that actually hold up over time. They are focused on developing the cognitive and ethical capacity to respond well, even when the future is volatile and uncertain.
