Core Message to LPs

One Love Capital is a purpose‑built venture platform proving that mission‑led companies can outperform. With Richard Nelson Cho, CFA at the helm — blending finance, strategy, product, and values — we deliver both impact and returns.

1) Executive Summary

One Love Capital is a venture fund focused on early‑stage (pre‑seed and Series A) B Corp‑certified or certifiable companies, where mission is the core and profit is the fuel for scaling social and environmental impact. We believe that purpose‑led companies deliver superior, durable returns while driving measurable positive change.

Why Early Stage?

This is where mission and culture are shaped. Our dual focus allows us to embed impact principles at the founder level — resulting in stronger, scalable businesses.

2) Fund Structure & Strategy
  • Fund Size (Target): $100 million
  • Investment Stage: Pre‑seed & Series A
  • Check Size: $500k–$2M initial, with follow‑on reserves
  • Portfolio Size: 30–40 companies
  • Geography: Primarily U.S.; selectively international
  • Return Target: Top quartile VC returns with rigorous impact measurement
Approach

Partner early, align on mission & governance, support B Corp certification, and reserve intelligently to help the best impact‑native teams scale.

3) Investment Thesis
Underserved Impact Founders

Pre‑seed B Corp founders often struggle to find aligned capital.

Mission > Margins (first)

Founders committed to a double bottom line outperform by inspiring stakeholders and avoiding mission drift.

B Corp Filter

Third‑party validation of governance and impact reduces greenwashing risk and signals long‑term resilience.

4) Differentiation & Capability
Exclusive B Corp Focus

Few VCs specialize exclusively in B Corps. We bring deep expertise and sourcing networks.

Operational Value

Advisory through certification, mission governance, and purpose‑driven scaling.

Track Record

Led by seasoned professionals with experience at Bridgewater, Gartner, McKinsey, and mission leadership.

5) Impact Measurement
Certification

Target B Corp certification across the portfolio.

KPIs

Reporting

Annual impact and financial performance reports delivered to LPs.
