About

Steve Jurvetson co-founded Future Ventures in 2019 to make long-horizon bets on deep tech, after two decades at Draper Fisher Jurvetson where he backed SpaceX, Tesla and Hotmail. He is one of the longest-serving board members at SpaceX, and his frontier-tech portfolio returned him to the Forbes Midas List in 2026 at number 62.
