JourneyOne Ventures is a women and minority-owned fund that invests in frontier wellness industries. We back founders who break status quo and believe that people should have access to care, support, and products that work for them, not the system.
Health and happiness are two simple human needs that everyone should have access to. It’s why consumers spent $6.2 trillion on their wellbeing in 2023. To capture this growing financial opportunity in the wellness economy, we invest in founders that build companies that are innovating across physical, mental, sexual, financial, and social wellness.
We syndicate investments for our most highly regarded deals that we get additional allocation in outside of our fund's investments or through our network of top performing fund managers.

Companies we invest in
We look for companies that are solving critical industry problems with BIG MARKETS that have outstanding leadership teams.
1// Software that supports the distribution and acceleration of frontier wellness products, services, and care.
2// Biotech or deep science products that have the potential to materially increase societal wellness, but don’t fit into traditional healthcare models.
3// Consumer businesses where capital structure and business economics drive VC returns.
We also do deals outside of this core thesis on an ad-hoc basis when we see outstanding opportunities in B2B and B2C SaaS, fintech, consumer, women-led teams, and CPG.
