One Way Ventures

Semyon Dukach operates as founder and the firm's public investment lead. He was previously a managing director at Techstars Boston and exited multiple startups of his own. The firm does not publicly list additional investment partners in a traditional GP hierarchy.

Yes. The firm explicitly states it backs "exceptional immigrant founders in the US," and only invests when at least one founder immigrated to the United States. That screen is the structural thesis of the firm.

One Way invests at pre-seed and seed. Firm materials do not describe later-stage or growth vehicles; portfolio companies that scale — such as Brex or Tive — are not later funded by One Way in follow-on rounds unless through a separate, undisclosed allocation strategy.

The portfolio spans fintech (Brex, Chipper Cash, Debbie, Onyx Private, Qashio, Airfox), enterprise and AI/ML (Hercules AI, Helm AI, Retrocausal, Provision, Locaal AI), supply chain and logistics (Tive, Easyship, Truckpedia, Burq), edtech (Buddy.ai, Preply), space tech (Momentus, Destinus), digital health (Impilo Health, Care Academy), and food science (Compound Foods). The firm's website lists 49 portfolio companies.

One Way has not publicly disclosed fund sizes or vehicle structures. Its AUM is undisclosed. The firm operates as an early-stage institutional investor, but the exact fund architecture — closed-end funds, rolling special-purpose vehicles, or a hybrid — is not publicly detailed.

Semyon Dukach was a managing director at Techstars Boston for three years before founding One Way Ventures. There is no disclosed operational or capital relationship between One Way and Techstars today.

One Way has not publicly named its limited partners or capital sources. The firm has no known disclosed family-office anchor or single-sponsor backing, and the founder's exit history includes multiple startups, suggesting a blend of institutional and personal capital — but this is not confirmed by the firm.
