History
Conceived as a social enterprise with a sustainable revenue stream, OneSeed Expeditions grew directly out of the research and work experience of its founders. OneSeed's founders bring a unique mix of mountain guiding, ethnographic fieldwork, and non-profit skills to the start-up team. We try to keep it pretty simple: you take an amazing trip; a local entrepreneur launches or expands their small business. We aim to change the way that travel impacts local communities. We've all seen the negative side of tourism, but what happens when you take the power of travel and harness it to fund creative entrepreneurs? Answering that question is what OneSeed is all about.
Specialties
OneSeed Expeditions offers a new way to travel. We partner with local communities to ensure that tourism revenue goes directly to guides, porters, and local entrepreneurs. Through the OneSeed Fund, we invest 10 cents of every dollar into microfinance initiatives that provide start-up capital to women entrepreneurs. When you travel with OneSeed, you explore the world and invest in people.
