Investment thesis
1Sharpe Ventures targets what it calls the 'Forgotten 50%' of the economy: foundational but historically underinvested sectors such as real estate, construction, manufacturing, insurance and financial services. The firm believes advances in AI and technology infrastructure can drive major efficiencies, displace incumbents and reshape traditionally slow-moving categories. It emphasizes that success will depend on vertical expertise, pairing new ideas and technology with distribution, industry relationships and deep domain knowledge. 1SV operates across three verticals — credit, housing, and venture — investing in North America and Europe.
