OneBio Venture Studio has secured $1.2 million in new investment capital. The funding round will support the company's mission to build original and world-changing businesses within the biotechnology sector. OneBio Venture Studio operates by partnering with biotech entrepreneurs, offering both investment capital and specialized expertise to develop future-focused companies.

As a venture studio, OneBio plays a dual role, acting as both an investor and a co-builder of new ventures. This approach aims to de-risk early-stage biotech companies by providing structured support and strategic guidance from inception. The recently raised capital is significant as it enhances OneBio's capacity to identify, invest in, and nurture a greater number of promising biotech startups, thereby expanding its portfolio and impact within the industry.

The $1.2 million in funding is earmarked to bolster OneBio Venture Studio's operational capabilities and expand its investment capacity. Specifically, the capital will be deployed to provide seed funding for new biotech ventures, support ongoing portfolio companies, and strengthen the studio's internal team and resources. This strategic allocation is intended to accelerate the development cycle of innovative biotech solutions and bring them closer to market.

This investment underscores confidence in OneBio Venture Studio's model for fostering innovation in biotechnology. With this new capital, OneBio is positioned to deepen its engagement with the entrepreneurial ecosystem, continuing its work to transform groundbreaking scientific ideas into viable businesses. The company anticipates using these funds to drive its growth initiatives and further solidify its role in shaping the future of biotech.

Most growing businesses don't have a data problem. They have a coherence problem. Operational information lives in fragments - accounting in one tool, inventory in another, customer relationships in a third, communications spread across email and chat. Each system tells one slice of the story. None of them talk to each other. So operators reconcile by hand, build dashboards nobody reads, and react to whatever surfaces loudest instead of what actually matters. Tennsa OS is an always-on intelligence layer that sits across the systems a business already runs on - accounting, inventory, CRM, email, calendars, banking - and reads them as one. Every morning, it produces a briefing of what changed overnight, what's at risk, and what to act on first. When something needs investigating, one click opens a grounded conversation with the underlying data. The AI answers from real numbers and refuses to fabricate when data is missing. No hallucinations, no plausible-sounding fiction, only what the systems actually say. We integrate at source rather than centralising into a data warehouse - which means Tennsa delivers value within days of connection rather than after a multi-month data engineering effort. We're built in Cape Town, with first-class integrations for the South African stack (IQ Retail, Sage, Xero, PayFast, Yoco) and native compliance with the local regulatory environment (POPIA, data sovereignty). Just scalable, grounded intelligence that turns a business's existing systems into a single coherent operating picture. Backed by Google for Startups. 🌐 tennsa.com 📧 info@tennsa.com
