Investment thesis
futurepresent invests in AI platforms and infrastructure across the US and Europe, formally launching in March 2026 with a $300m Fund I after more than a year of investing quietly. Built as a deliberately small partnership run by repeat founders and investors, the firm partners at inception and takes a concentrated approach at early growth, aiming to maximize founders' time and energy. Its investments center on three themes: Physical AI (bringing AI into the real world to control and automate physical operations), Applied AI in complex, labor-constrained industries that reshapes entire markets, and Infrastructure providing the foundational building blocks to advance the AI frontier. With presence on both sides of the Atlantic, it supports founders with global ambition.
