ONE WORLD MISSION

Enable Organizations to Scale Social Impact and Improve the Lives of Individuals Globally.

 

ONE WORLD provides organizations training and capital to profitably increase social impact.

Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, we leverage our expertise in developing leaders to deliver innovative approaches to increase social impact in a way that is profitable, sustainable, and scalable.

Our clients range from entrepreneurial start-ups to Global 500 organizations, and we support a vibrant network of several thousand entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate professionals.

ONE WORLD has multiple investment vehicles to selectively place capital directly into early-stage companies, impact private equity & venture capital funds, and in the public markets—all to support the ONE WORLD mission.

 

We Are ONE WORLD.

 
 

We Operate
as ONE.

One of our core beliefs is that the social impact ecosystem requires deeper and more frequent collaboration among the main players: for-profit businesses large and small, impact investors, foundations, the not-for-profit sector, and the public sector. Those of us in the ONE WORLD ecosystem understand how to navigate and ultimately find synergy across these pockets of professionals and organizations that often operate independently.

Additionally, organizations have choices in terms of how they operate—the sustainability of their sourcing and operating processes, the diversity and inclusiveness of the workforce, the quality of their governance practices, and more.

 

We Serve People Throughout
the WORLD.

Every organization decides who it serves. ONE WORLD is focused on helping underserved and underrepresented populations—and the planet which supports us all—through our social impact work for two reasons.  

First, we believe it is fair and just to support these populations, a compelling reason in and of itself. Second, we believe that all populations are ultimately interconnected and that by helping underserved populations we ultimately help everyone, everywhere. A rising tide lifts all boats.  

And…Action!
