Investment Thesis

Deep Future’s investment philosophy is to back ambitious, inventor-led teams building long-horizon, high-impact technologies — the sort of work the firm describes as “implementing science fiction” to “solve big problems” and help humanity become “better ancestors.” The firm favors founder-inventors and small, heretical communities over corporate committees, funding deep tech across hardware, materials, energy, biotech, space and AI (examples on the site include a laser to kill mosquitoes, an AI microscope to diagnose malaria, metamaterials-based antenna companies, the Arktek vaccine cooler and TerraPower).

Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Deep Future is most relevant for founders raising venture-backed rounds in AI/ML, Hardware, Robotics, and Space Tech.

Focus statement

We back “mad scientists, rogue inventors, crazy hackers & maverick entrepreneurs” who are inventing breakthrough technologies and translating science-fiction scale ideas into real-world products and systems. The emphasis is on deep invention and long-term impact rather than incremental product tweaks or corporate spinouts.

Value Add

Founder/inventor-led identity: the site is written by an active inventor/hacker with 30+ years of invention experience (cypherpunk, Blue Origin, Intellectual Ventures Lab).
Cultural positioning: explicitly targets non‑traditional inventors — “small communities of heretics” and self-described ‘mad scientists’ rather than corporate R&D.
Proven invention track record: cites concrete inventions and spinouts (mosquito-laser, AI microscope for malaria, metamaterials antennas, Arktek cooler, TerraPower) and a history of thousands of patents and lab-scale invention.
Moonshot / long-horizon orientation: accepts audacious, science‑fiction level bets (e.g., “ships sail themselves; cement lasts forever; solar panels beam energy down from space”).
