OUR VISION
“Capital is wealth in motion”
—Scott Galloway
Startup investing begins with us. We exist to bring wealth creation opportunities and decision making power to underrepresented and underestimated groups.
We want to transform the way you, investors, founders and trailblazers in business create and transfer value. Collectively, our system serves as an accelerator for financial literacy, leadership potential and industrial progress and game-changing ideas. Investing like a pro is a process, and this is a good place to start.
GENERATIONAL WEALTH IS BUILT IN COMMUNITY
People under the age of 40 have seen their share of the nation’s wealth plummet from 19 percent to nine percent over the past three decades and the avenues for wealth creation are locking out large swaths of the population.
We believe in collaboration as a tool for making wealth creation more accessible to new and emerging investors.
A note from our founder
"For me, breaking into venture always felt unlikely. Venture capital is a historically difficult industry to break into. The lack of diversity that exists within the ecosystem creates an even higher barrier for minorities and individuals with non-traditional backgrounds. This is why the most important thing we can do for our network is to create the conditions for them to gain meaningful experiences, drive relevant opportunities and develop their own strategy for startup investing.
Future Capital exists to accelerate a cultural reset in venture that will play a key role in solving the diversity issue that plagued tech for decades. "
– Marlon Thompson, Founder and CEO
how we do it
1. Accelerate Next Gen Investing
In the US, non-Hispanic white residents now make up less than half (49.9%) of the nation’s under-15 population. The future of venture will look different—and we're speeding up the process.
2. Developing Power Through Knowledge
We empower our community with the information, access and insights to outperform traditional venture funding models.
3. Full Spectrum Inclusion
Our community is for everyone, but we will prioritize the people who are underserved until we get to parity.
4. Follow the Data
Due diligence is at the core of everything we do. We’re committed to ensuring founders, speakers & investors that exist within our network are vetted against our values & have the potential to drive meaningful growth.

5. Representation x Substance
Representation matters, but in business you have to add value. We believe that underrepresented groups have the skills, network and capital to earn their place on the cap table.
