Investment Thesis
Future Ventures backs founders building foundational technologies that could redefine or create whole industries, rather than incremental improvements, across AI, sustainable mobility, the future of food, space, energy and computational biology. It typically writes first checks of $5M to $20M for capital-intensive deep tech companies and aims to build portfolios of about 20 companies per fund.
Manager's Experience
Co-founder Steve Jurvetson was a managing director at DFJ for more than two decades, where he was an early investor in companies including Tesla and SpaceX and sat on their boards. Co-founder Maryanna Saenko worked alongside him at DFJ and previously invested at Airbus Ventures and Khosla Ventures. They launched Future Ventures in 2019 with an oversubscribed $200M debut fund and have since backed more than 50 startups.
