Investment thesis
Founded in 2014, Future Perfect Ventures backs founders building decentralized technology and business models, arguing that the combination of people, machines, and peer-to-peer connectivity leads to a more prosperous and equitable future. Its investment focus spans decentralized infrastructure (blockchain, cryptoasset infrastructure, and developer tools that improve scale, security, and flexibility); artificial intelligence (computer vision, NLP, machine learning, and robotics, emphasizing applications that preserve data integrity and privacy); decentralized applications (peer-to-peer transactions that reduce intermediary fees and enable programmable business models); and next-generation micro-marketplaces enabling efficient, validated, instantaneous global transactions. The firm was an early blockchain investor, backing the space before it became mainstream.
