One Way Ventures states it is "on a mission to back exceptional immigrant founders building high-impact global companies" and invests at the pre-seed and seed stage. Its stated rationale is that "immigrant success is not priced into the market": the firm cites that immigrants are 13% of the U.S. population but start 24% of high-tech startups and have founded or co-founded 55% of America's billion-dollar startups, and argues that immigration self-selects for the entrepreneurial minded. Its stated core belief is that "People should be given the opportunity to succeed regardless of birth location." The firm's own portfolio page groups its investments under the categories AI/ML, SaaS, Fintech, Deep tech and Consumer.
