Description

ONEVC is a prominent seed-stage venture capital firm with a unique bicoastal presence, operating out of both São Paulo, Brazil, and Silicon Valley. The firm is dedicated to identifying and backing exceptional founders who are building category-defining companies, often with a strong emphasis on global ambitions from day one. Their investment thesis centers on supporting entrepreneurs who are tackling significant market opportunities, particularly within the burgeoning Latin American tech ecosystem, while also leveraging the strategic advantages of a Silicon Valley network.

The firm's approach extends beyond mere capital injection; ONEVC positions itself as a hands-on partner, providing strategic guidance, operational support, and access to a vast network of industry experts and potential follow-on investors. They are known for their founder-centric philosophy, aiming to empower startups to scale rapidly and efficiently. Their portfolio showcases a diverse range of innovative companies across various sectors, including fintech, proptech, and healthtech, many of which have gone on to achieve significant growth and subsequent funding rounds.

ONEVC has steadily grown its capital base, reflecting its increasing influence in the venture landscape. The firm successfully closed its second fund, ONEVC II, at $30 million in 2020, demonstrating investor confidence in their strategy and team. Building on this momentum, they subsequently raised their third fund, ONEVC III, which closed at $50 million in 2022. This capital enables them to deploy initial checks typically ranging from $500,000 to $3,000,000, primarily targeting early-stage companies.

With a clear focus on high-potential, globally-minded startups emerging from Latin America, ONEVC has established itself as a key player in bridging the gap between regional innovation and global markets.
