Welcome to Future Now Capital, a technology investment manager. Our focus is on investing in and helping grow independent software companies - young established companies who are innovating to provide the services and solutions of the future today. We help our companies accelerate their commercialisation, develop their offerings, reach new markets and in the process build great value for our investors.
There are tremendous opportunities for software globally as businesses, service providers and retail processes migrate to digital platforms and embrace new and better ways to do things. This massive transformational change to business has been accelerated by the increased adoption of the cloud.
Future Now Capital invests in companies that are at the scaleup stage of their growth and development, where our capital and deep tech industry knowledge is best placed to make a difference.
No other organisation in the world has our unique access to companies selected for Microsoft's accelerated growth programs. Our experience in navigating the Microsoft ecosystem - drawing on Microsoft's powerful commercial, operational, developmental and strategic capabilities - helps our portfolio investments develop their offerings and accelerate their distribution channels.
We frame each fund portfolio with a maximum of 10-12 companies and generally take significant minority stakes to empower businesses and incentivise owners, while governing the use of our funds, ensuring proper governance and working closely and collaboratively with companies and their people.
We use simple structures (principally equity), with capital being used only for growth strategies (we do not cash out any existing shareholders or pay down debt), and we do not use leverage. From the outset, we work with our portfolio companies to develop a clear and aligned growth and value building strategy, including exit options.
Our investment team works in parallel with a fully independent high calibre investment committee (“IC”) where unanimous decisions are required at all stages of the IC process. We pride ourselves in engaging with and keeping our investors well informed of their investment’s performance.
Our fund investors can participate in our unique co-investment programs, which allows them to directly invest in many of our portfolio companies, while having access to the same materials, management reports, monitoring and governance information that Future Now Capital has while managing our Fund investments.
Our team have decades of hands-on experience in investing in and managing technology scaleups - from start-up through the growth journey to exit. Now, through Future Now Capital, we are bringing this pedigree and track of value building and wealth generation to external investors.
