One 9 Investments
Venture capitalCanada · Seed–Series B
Investment thesis
ONE9 invests at the intersection of national security and technological innovation, backing founders and companies building capabilities vital to security and prosperity rather than technology alone. Its strategy balances deep conviction with diversification across stage, geography, and theme. Focus areas include mission-critical and additive manufacturing, dual-use aerospace and space, autonomous systems, AI/software-defined defence and data dominance, critical infrastructure protection, cybersecurity, secure connectivity and edge computing, and quantum technologies. As Kensington Capital Partners' dedicated security and defence platform, backed by AGF Capital Partners, it aims to derisk investments through its Capability Labs and expert task force while delivering outsized returns.
