Market One Capital is a Pan-European pre-seed and seed VC firm with €140m AUM across two funds, backing "platforms of tomorrow that democratize market access and enhance efficiency through the power of network effects." The firm focuses on marketplaces (B2B, B2C, P2P), SaaS-enabled marketplaces, market networks, online communities, protocols, and tooling/infrastructure for network-effect enhancement — areas where each additional user, node, or data point increases value for all participants. In its 2025 thesis update, MOC articulates a "convergence story" in which the most successful ventures blend software, payments, logistics, data, and AI agents into single seamless platforms. The partners believe AI is the great accelerator — commoditizing software and enabling new categories of creators — and that strong network effects remain the most durable competitive moat in an era of commoditized code. MOC typically leads or co-leads rounds, writing initial cheques of €200k–€2m with reserves to invest up to €8m per company.
Notable quotes
“We back the platforms of tomorrow that democratize market access and enhance efficiency through the power of network effects.”
“Market One Capital (known as 'MOC') founded in 2017 is a classic venture capital firm that backs bold European entrepreneurs working on novel hypotheses about the future and funds them with enough seed capital to validate or answer the most important questions.”
“We believe we're on the cusp of a Web 4.0 era, where AI dominates every layer, and convergence is the natural strategy for sustainable advantage. Companies that adapt to these new rules — and capitalize on them — will shape the future.”
