Note from JourneyOne Ventures
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.
Our objective is to —> lift stigmas in 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 fund managers across the globe.”
We’re proud to be one of the most well-respected venture funds in the cannabis industry and developed our thesis in 2017 originally focused on plant medicine and have naturally evolved into investing in broader markets within frontier wellness and mental health.

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.
