Innovation is a Special Operation.

ONE9’s mission is to solve national security challenges through innovation while delivering outsized returns to investors.

We are a team of national security end-users, unicorn-building entrepreneurs, and leaders in the Canadian ecosystem of dual-use technology innovation and investment.

Our mission is anchored by Canada’s first and only security-focused venture capital fund, ONE9 Special Mission Fund I, and operationalized through ONE9 Capability Labs.

We find, fund, and scale disruptive dual-use tech companies meeting commercial and security market demand.

ONE9’s venture investments are poised to deliver outsized returns thanks to our unparalleled access, networks, and proprietary deal flow.

We’re not investing in bombs and bullets; we’re investing in critical innovation.


We bridge the gap between private innovation and the national security enterprise.

Our Task Force of subject matter experts vets and validates the technology of our client companies in support of Special Mission Fund I, and the defence and national security enterprise.
