Startups we work with adopt our very own robust retrospective practice that keeps everyone focused and highlights weaknesses before they sprout. We also keep a weekly record of startups' achievements and failures.
Each partner at One Dollar Capital is an experienced tech entrepreneur who bootstrapped products, raised money and scaled in either North America or Europe.
Time
Our partners make sure to engage with the founders every week so everyone stays on the same page and knows what to do next.
Independent opinion
Constant feedback is what we adore. Also, we don't chit-chat with other VCs. If we decide to pass on your startup, no one will ever know.
Informal atmosphere
Staying professional is more about attitude than rituals for us.
A strong faith in startups
We believe in Silicon Valley. We believe in Berlin and Bangalore. We believe in EdTech, Sharing Economy and AI. We believe in female and first- time founders. Prove us right.
Fast decision-making
Startups should be fast to succeed. Why should't VCs? We either invest or pass in 7 days.
Pitch your startup
All great startups resemble one another, every failed one is unique. (inspired by Leo Tolstoy)
