Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Future Ventures is most relevant for founders raising Seed and Series A rounds in AI/ML, Biotech, Quantum, and Space Tech.

Focus statement

We focus on seed and early-stage investments in trailblazing, purpose-driven entrepreneurs working on frontier/deep technologies that can reinvent entire industries. Portfolio sectors called out include aerospace, energy (e.g., fusion), climate/clean tech, robotics, biotech/therapeutics, sustainable agriculture and AI applied to hard industries.

Value Add

Founders/partners with technical R&D backgrounds (e.g., Steve Jurvetson’s chip designs at HP; Maryanna Saenko’s work on lunar rovers, Martian landers and materials/biomedical engineering; Nico’s DOE ARPA‑E fellowship).
Track record of leading founding VC investments and board roles in category-defining companies (site cites early investments including Boring Company, Commonwealth Fusion, D-Wave, Planet, Skype, SpaceX, Tesla and Upside Foods).
Explicit framing as a mission-driven, founder-first firm focused on industry formation rather than short-term plays: partners "led founding investments" that "represent $1.7 trillion of aggregate value creation."
Thematic breadth across ‘frontier technologies’ with stated avoidance of businesses that "prey on human frailty," signaling an ethical screening overlay on sector selection.
Operational emphasis on sourcing and diligence by technically trained investment staff (Partner-Track role requires technical/scientific degree plus VC experience and in-person SF Bay Area presence).
