🔥 BERNIE'S HOT TAKE

Future Perfect Ventures is essentially a one-woman show run by Jalak Jobanputra, who deserves credit for being genuinely early to blockchain (2014) when everyone else was still figuring out what Bitcoin was. She's managed to build a portfolio of 77 companies including 5 unicorns like SeatGeek, Andela, and Blockstream. But here's the thing - they haven't made any investments in 2025 so far, which either means they're being super selective or struggling to deploy capital in the current environment. The team is just 6 people including 2 partners, so don't expect white-glove service or deep operational help. Jalak's smart and well-connected, but this feels more like a boutique check-writer than a hands-on partner for scaling companies.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Best for: Early-stage crypto/blockchain founders who want a true believer with deep sector connections
  • Watch out for: Limited team bandwidth and unclear current deployment pace
  • Known for: Being first to blockchain thesis in 2014, strong unicorn track record
Investment Thesis

Since 2014, we have been investing in founders who believe that decentralization ensuing from the combination of people and machines, and peer-to-peer connectivity, will lead to an enhanced experience for all of humanity. We invest in blockchain, cryptoasset infrastructure and developer tools that increase scale, security and flexibility, plus advances in computer vision, natural language processing, machine learning and robotics, with a focus on applications that preserve data integrity and protect privacy.

Stage & Sector Focus
