One Way Labs

What is One Way Labs?

One Way Labs is a venture capital firm with a unique investment strategy focused on early-stage startups. Unlike traditional investment models, One Way Labs emphasizes building software in exchange for equity, blurring the lines between a VC firm and a software development house.

They cater specifically to non-technical founders who have deep domain expertise but lack the necessary technical support to bring their ideas to fruition. By addressing this gap, One Way Labs empowers founders who are solving critical problems but do not have their own development team or technical co-founder. Their approach involves a hands-on partnership where they not only provide capital but also contribute to the technical side of startup building, thereby bypassing a major hurdle for many early-stage companies.

One Way Labs' investment criteria are designed to support seed and early-stage ventures with investment minimums starting at $40,000 and can go up to $100,000. This budget range suggests a highly targeted approach to funding, allowing them to concentrate on a select group of startups that fit within their expertise and investment philosophy.

Their physical headquarters is situated at 3333 Piedmont Rd, Suite 2050, Atlanta, GA 30305, reflecting their commitment to growing and supporting the startup ecosystem in Atlanta and beyond. This strategic location places them at the heart of a vibrant entrepreneurial community where they can actively engage with founders and startups in various stages of growth.

What they say:

We invest in early stage startups and build software in exchange for equity. We look for non-technical founders who hold deep domain expertise, solving important problems without their own development team or technical co-founder.
