FuturePlay

FuturePlay is a deep tech venture capital firm that invests in and supports technology-driven startups. It describes itself as a full-cycle investment house, backing companies from the early stage through Series B and beyond, and frames its support around four areas: capital, talent, business expansion, and access to follow-on growth funding.

Beyond providing early-stage funding, the firm positions itself as an operationally involved investor, helping portfolio companies build core teams, connecting them with sources of growth capital, and assisting with entry into global markets. Its stated portfolio includes companies working in autonomous driving sensing (SOS LAB), space launch vehicles (Innospace), autonomous vehicle perception software (Seoul Robotics), and Tidepool.

Business model

FuturePlay deploys capital into early-stage technology startups, typically entering at seed or pre-Series A stages and continuing to support companies into later rounds, while providing hands-on assistance in team building, follow-on fundraising, and business expansion.
