Why we exist
Proximity changes the economics.
Reaching the right people earlier and directly preserves context, creates more options and gives firms greater control over the outcome.
Intermediated
- Access controlled elsewhere
- Intent visible before contact
- Economics shaped by competition
Direct
- Proximity built deliberately
- Relationships developed earlier
- Context and intelligence retained

The firm
An origination firm built to operate.
oneLinear Partners builds and runs the front end of selected private-market and commercial mandates.
Market intelligence, positioning, direct outreach and qualification sit within one accountable engagement. Where credibility is the constraint, an authority layer strengthens conversion before the first conversation.
- Mandate before motion
- Objective and qualification first.
- Context before contact
- A reason to engage.
- Discretion by default
- Materials only as required.
- Evidence over activity
- Movement over volume.

Engagement criteria
A limited number of engagements. Senior attention throughout.
We work closely with each client, so fit depends on the strength of the objective, the economics behind it and the team’s ability to act.
Who we work with
- Investment firms with a defined acquisition or deployment thesis
- Companies pursuing capital, transactions or commercial growth
- Advisers building a repeatable source of mandates or clients
- Senior teams able to act on qualified interest
Who we do not work with
- Early concepts without validated economics
- Teams seeking contact lists rather than a managed process
- Indiscriminate, high-volume outreach
- Mandates requiring guaranteed outcomes
