At One Ventures is led by former Google X founding team member Tom Chi, who applies a "moonshot lab" prototyping mindset from building Google Glass and early self-driving cars to venture sourcing and portfolio support, rather than coming from traditional finance backgrounds. The fund uses a formalized "Triad" investment thesis that only backs companies simultaneously deploying disruptive deep tech, fundamentally upending incumbent unit economics, and driving strong climate and nature-positive outcomes—with investment decisions framed around moving entire industries from extractive to regenerative through rigorous reverse-engineering of unit economics at commercial scale.
