Investment Thesis

Responsible innovation is our thesis: investing in companies that solve the world’s most intractable problems while adding benefits to society.

We use technology as a force multiplier for investment and to protect those at risk.

We invest across peace, security, and infrastructure sectors with an eye on job creation. Specific sectors include AI, aerospace, and cybersecurity.

Self-sustaining. Scalable. Mission-critical.

We invest in early-stage and later stage technology companies that deliver dual returns:

Financial Performance: Our investors gain access to cutting-edge and scalable technologies with strong growth potential across peace, security, and infrastructure sectors.

Societal Impact: We choose to reinvest profits in prevention technology and mission readiness through our Foundation's rapid response operations.

Self-sustaining. Scalable. Mission-critical. Make profits. Prevent harm.

The convergence of global security challenges and technological advancement creates unprecedented investment opportunities in:

• AI and Machine Learning - Threat detection, predictive analytics, autonomous systems
• Aerospace and Defense Technology - Surveillance, rapid deployment, secure communications
• Cybersecurity - Infrastructure protection, secure data systems, threat mitigation
• Peace and Security Infrastructure - Border security, population movement management, crisis response systems

These technologies serve dual purposes: generating commercial returns while enabling the protection of vulnerable populations.

Technology as Force Multiplier: We identify companies where technology exponentially increases impact—whether that's lives protected, speed of response, or scale of operations.

Sector Expertise: Our team operates at the intersection of technology, security, and humanitarian response. We understand both the commercial opportunity and the real-world application.

Activist Investor Approach: We don't just invest capital—we provide strategic guidance, network access, and market intelligence to accelerate growth.

Mission Alignment: Our portfolio companies benefit from association with real-world impact operations, creating unique positioning and partnership opportunities.

The Future Found operates through two integrated entities:

Investment Company: Sources, invests in, and grows early-stage technology companies across peace, security, and infrastructure sectors. Generates returns for investors through equity appreciation and strategic exits.

Foundation: The Investment Company reinvests up to 20% of its profits (not investor returns) to fund Foundation operations—moving people to safety, preventing trafficking, and protecting vulnerable populations during conflict and disasters.

This dual structure creates a sustainable cycle: successful investments fund humanitarian operations, while operational experience informs better investment decisions.

We target companies at the intersection of commercial viability and societal benefit:

Stage: Seed to Series B, with follow-on capability through exits.

Sectors:

• Peace and security technology
• Critical infrastructure
• Deep tech (AI, aerospace, cybersecurity)
• Dual-use technologies with commercial and humanitarian applications

Geography: Global, with emphasis on technologies that scale across markets and crises

Ticket Size: Flexible based on stage and strategic fit, activist involvement regardless of check size

For Portfolio Companies:

• Strategic guidance from operators with real-world implementation experience
• Network access to government, military, and humanitarian sector partners
• Market intelligence from field operations
• Unique positioning as technology serving humanity

For Investors:

• Access to differentiated deal flow in high-growth sectors
• Above-market returns driven by technology scalability
• Portfolio diversification across peace, security, and infrastructure
• Alignment of financial returns with measurable societal impact

For Society:

• Accelerated development of life-saving technologies
• Job creation in critical infrastructure and defense sectors
• Sustainable funding for humanitarian operations
• Prevention-focused solutions that reduce long-term crisis costs

Our investment strategy targets above-market returns driven by:

• Sector Tailwinds: Increasing global investment in peace, security, and infrastructure technology across government and commercial sectors
• Technology Scalability: AI, aerospace, and cybersecurity companies can achieve rapid growth with strong unit economics
• Strategic Positioning: Portfolio companies benefit from unique market access and mission-driven differentiation
• Multiple Exit Paths: Strategic acquisitions by defense/technology companies, IPOs in strong markets, secondary sales to growth equity

We focus on sustainable growth, rigorous due diligence, and risk-adjusted returns that deliver value to both investors and society.

Rigorous Due Diligence: We evaluate technology viability, market opportunity, team capability, and competitive moats before investment.

Protected Technologies: We prioritize companies with defensible IP, strategic partnerships, or regulatory advantages.

Diversified Portfolio: Investments span multiple sectors, stages, and geographies to mitigate concentration risk.

Active Management: Our hands-on approach enables early identification and resolution of operational challenges.

Real-World Validation: Portfolio technologies are tested in high-stakes environments, providing market proof before scale.

We pursue exits that maximize value for investors while ensuring portfolio companies continue their societal mission:

Strategic Acquisition: By defense contractors, technology companies, or government-adjacent entities seeking mission-aligned capabilities

IPO: For companies achieving scale in commercial markets with strong public market comparables

Secondary Sale: To growth equity or impact investors aligned with company mission and growth trajectory

All exit decisions prioritize long-term value creation over short-term gains, ensuring portfolio companies maintain their dual mandate of financial performance and societal benefit.

We invest in companies that demonstrate:

• Clear technological advantage - Defensible IP, unique capabilities, or strategic moats
• Dual-use applicability - Commercial viability and humanitarian benefit
• Scalable business model - Path to profitability and rapid growth
• Mission alignment - Technologies that aid, protect, and prevent harm
• Exceptional teams - Founders with domain expertise and execution capability
• Market timing - Sectors experiencing tailwinds and increasing investment

For Investors: Join us in building the future where financial returns and human safety are inseparable. Our investment platform delivers performance while advancing the safety of humanity.

For Entrepreneurs: If you're building technology that protects, prevents harm, or moves people to safety—we want to partner with you. We provide capital, strategic guidance, and real-world validation.

For Partners: We seek strategic relationships with defense contractors, government agencies, humanitarian organizations, and technology companies committed to responsible innovation.

Prevention. Protection. Prosperity.

At The Future Found, we don't choose between financial returns and societal impact—we deliver both. By investing in companies that solve the world's most intractable problems, we create enduring value for investors while advancing the safety of humanity.

The future is found through responsible innovation, strategic capital, and unwavering commitment to both performance and purpose.

The Future is Found—NOW.
