About

Version One Ventures is a Vancouver-based, early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2012 by Boris Wertz. The firm focuses on investing in mission-driven founders with bold, innovative ideas across various sectors, including software-as-a-service (SaaS), marketplaces, cryptocurrency, financial technology, and healthcare. Version One Ventures has a history of supporting companies from their inception, often before their solutions or market categories are fully defined. Notable investments include Ada, Coinbase, Headout, Jobber, Shippo, and Uniswap. The firm has raised multiple funds over the years, with its most recent being a $100 million USD raise across two funds in 2021, continuing its commitment to early-stage investments.
