One Bridge connects MBEs to Funding the 21st Century Way

One Bridge is a unique fintech platform and ecosystem that is dedicated to connecting Minority Owned Businesses (MBEs), in the US and beyond, to banks and investors. Our  platform addresses historic and current barriers facing US minorities from full and fair participation in the capital marketplace (Debt, Private Equity and Venture Capital).

At last banks and investors can see MBEs and other unlisted businesses at an unprecedented level of transparency with 21st century speed, reducing the cost and real risk of funding these businesses.

MBEs on the One Bridge platform benefit by lowering their risk of operation through better access to market-priced capital, grants, training, education, mentorship, customers, suppliers and more. One Bridge provides a nurturing ecosystem in the form of a business community of peers, mentors, suppliers, and customers that business owners need to help grow their business.

Our Services

  • Investor Connection

    One Bridge connects businesses to investors by curating lead generation of investment opportunities to help investors source deals. For MBEs, we are a financing matching engine catering to individual needs to both inform and supply more affordable financing options. We believe that each business is a vehicle of critical value that deserves the financial support and an empowering community to propel it to its fullest potential.

  • Grant Matching

    Grants are an often under utilized source of financial support by many businesses, which is why we are dedicated to increasing the visibility of the most relevant grant programs in your industry and location. We offer members access to grant programs via our grant matching engine, sourcing business spec-based options in order to provide supplemental financial support​.

  • Networking & Growth Opportunity

    We understand that business success is not only derived from great ideas backed by funding, but from the surrounding network and execution muscle of the business. This is why we prioritize anchoring One Bridge businesses with community, access to market avenues, and education.

Whether you're a business seeking funding, an investor looking to support minority-owned enterprises, or a mentor or partner ready to make a difference, the One Bridge platform will connect you to the right opportunities.

Our Story

At One Bridge, we believe that every human is of equal value, and that talent, character, strength, and innovation are scattered throughout the world and found in the most unlikely places. We seek to find, harness, and empower overlooked talent and remove barriers so that capital markets work for everyone.​

One Stone Bridge is a fintech platform seeking to address the exclusion of US minorities from the Private Equity and Venture Capital markets. Our 20+ years of experience in the financial services industry are spread across three continents – from South Africa, to the United Kingdom and the United States. Our time in the industry has revealed a need for greater inclusivity and change from within; we aim to be a part of the solution.

Our Values

We seek to uphold the values of Diversity, Ethics, Humility, Innovation and Excellence:

Diversity – we believe that by prioritizing a diversity of talents, opinions, backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, we will be a stronger company.

Ethics – we believe that by acting in accordance with strict moral principles in observance of the law and conscience, we best serve our clients and are positioned to fulfill our mission as fiduciaries.

Humility – we believe that humility is a prerequisite to significant improvement whether personal or corporate. It also fosters the ability to learn from diverse perspectives while combating both conscious and unconscious biases, in order to excel together.

Innovation – we value constant improvements and new methods, processes, and technology. We seek to build a culture of innovation in order to thrive in an increasingly complex world.

Excellence – we believe that excellence is doing important, often mundane things well, deliberately and persistently. We believe that such intentionality compounds over time to reach our higher ideals and fulfill our mandates. This in combination with the rest of our core values, if observed consistently, will create and sustain a meaningful and outstanding environment.
