One Line Venture Capital

Managing Partner Arale Cohen leads investment decisions, drawing on over a decade of early-stage experience from his previous firm 2B Angels. Partner Tom Sato leads Japan entry and partnership efforts from Tokyo. The firm's contributing entrepreneur community is involved in sourcing and supporting portfolio companies, though final investment authority rests with the named partners.

One Line is effectively the institutional successor to 2B Angels, where Arale Cohen served as Co-founder and General Partner from 2009 to 2021. The new fund carries forward the community of Israeli entrepreneurs that formed the core of 2B Angels, repurposing that network into a venture capital vehicle with an explicit global business development mandate, rather than a traditional angel network.

The firm embeds a dedicated Japan entry function through Partner Tom Sato, who has negotiated investments and commercial contracts with major Japanese corporations for over a dozen Israeli startups. This is unusual for a seed-stage Israeli fund and gives portfolio companies a structured path into the Japanese market, working with firms like Panasonic, Sony, and NTT Group.

No. The firm has not publicly disclosed its assets under management, fund size, or total capital deployed. Its portfolio page is listed as forthcoming, and no external publication has reported a verified figure.

The firm has not publicly disclosed specific sector mandates or exclusions. Its website and public materials describe a generalist early-stage and seed investment approach, sourced through its operator community, with no stated vertical restrictions.
