One Way Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund, operating in the U.S., focused on backing exceptional immigrant founders.
After 20 years of angel investing and three years as Managing Director of Techstars Boston, One Way co-founder Semyon Dukach noticed a trend: immigrant-led companies repeatedly outperformed the rest of his portfolio. While immigrants only make up 14% of the U.S. population, they start 24% of startups, and founded or co-founded more than 50% of America’s billion-dollar startups.
The general partnership is joined by Eugene Malobrodsky (Anchorfree, $300M raised) and Lex Zhao (Bridgewater, Vestwell). Today, One Way Ventures has over $100M under management and has backed immigrant founders from over 30 countries.
