☰OneSeed truly believes in a simple mission: Explore the world and invest in people. We believe in the power of entrepreneurship and the hard work of individuals to lift themselves out of poverty. OneSeed empowers travelers to plant those seeds of opportunity while exploring the beauty of the natural world. We try to keep the model pretty simple: you take an amazing trip, an entrepreneur gets theseed capital needed to launch or expand their business.
Launched by a small group of former teachers, guides, and researchers, OneSeed’s core mission ensures that poverty reduction remains at the center of all that we do. OneSeed aims to link local guides directly to international markets while deepening the impact of tourism revenue in the long-term economic development of the regions where we work.
Whether you're growing rice in Nepal or starting a hair salon in Chile, you need capital to start your business. Microcredit is not a solution to poverty, but rather a tool to empower individuals looking to create opportunities through entrepreneurship.
In the short time since its founding, OneSeed has invested in hundreds of small businesses while expanding guiding operations to 7 countries. With a focus on agriculture, livestock, and small retail, OneSeed’s impact model isn’t just another corporate social responsibility initiative—social impact is baked into everything our company does. From training young guides to investing in rural farmers, OneSeed aims to do good while getting adventurous travelers off the beaten path.
For every expedition organized, they invest 10% of their total gross revenue in the form of loans through microfinance partners in Nepal, Bhutan, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, and Tanzania. Their team of guides connect you to the places they love. The OneSeed Microfinance Fund invests in creative entrepreneurs that support their communities.
We make it easy! By joining our team of guides on the trail anywhere we work, your travel dollars are put to work supporting entrepreneurship and the creativity of small business owners around the world.
