One Lab was born to help founders take maximum advantage of each fundraise.

Our work is also an on-ramp to more serious investments of time and capital.

One Lab works with unusually promising founders on meaningful missions.

Our portfolio is composed of startups with deeply exceptional leadership with a focus on breakout YC talent.

We don’t leverage details of our alumni and portfolio companies for social proof.

We prefer word of mouth deal flow, selective personal invitations, confidentiality for our alumni, and private success.

The reward is in our relationships, in our enjoyment of the work itself, and in catalyzing maximal consequentialist impact via the missions we support.
