Closing of the second fund by $57.5 million
On January 4, 2021, venture capital company One Way Ventures announced the closure of its second fund in the amount of $57.5 million. The closure comes three years after One Way announced its $28 million debut fund.
One Way founding partner Semyon Dukach notes that the company's focus on immigrants is one of its greatest competitive advantages in making deals. One Way claims to unite immigrant founders into one community and speak with them in the same language (metaphorically) regarding adaptation to a new country, culture and environment. Although COVID-19 limited the ability to meet in person, the company is experimenting with the concept of virtual headquarters and events to combine its portfolio companies.
Assessing activities in 2020, Dukach said that the immigration environment during the Trump administration may have had little impact on One Way Ventures. However, the company has a venture partner in Montreal, Philippe Kalaf, which will allow hedging risks associated with possible political decisions of the new US president.
As for plans for the future, the venture capital company plans to connect women partners to the team. So, One Way Ventures is in talks with Nadezhda Asoyan, the former chief executive Robinhood and current head of Trusted Health. Other female members of the team include Annie Pet. One Way Ventures supported 10 companies founded or co-founded by women from all 50 companies.
According to Dukach, the ideal founder embodies the name of the company in his strategy. One Way Ventures relies on machine learning, fintech and educational technology.[1]
