Key people at Further Ventures.
Further Ventures is a venture capital and venture building firm based in Abu Dhabi that focuses on building and investing in companies shaping the future of financial markets. Their mission centers on bridging next-generation financial infrastructure in emerging economies with global capital markets, enabling institutional partners to securely transfer assets, tokenize funds, and trade structured products. They primarily invest in early-stage startups (Seed to Series B) within sectors such as FinTech, Blockchain, and AI, supporting founders globally from San Francisco to Hong Kong. Their impact on the startup ecosystem lies in fostering category-leading companies that innovate in digital asset infrastructure, decentralized finance, and institutional-grade financial services, thereby accelerating the modernization of capital markets worldwide[1][2][3][4].
Further Ventures was founded with a vision to be an institutional co-founder for entrepreneurs building the future of financial markets. Although the exact founding year is not explicitly stated, their main fund closed in 2022 with $200 million under management. The firm is headquartered in Abu Dhabi and led by key partners who bring expertise in venture capital, financial markets, and regulatory collaboration. Their evolution has been marked by a focus on emerging economies and the intersection of traditional finance with blockchain and AI technologies, positioning themselves as a bridge between global capital and next-gen financial infrastructure[1][2][3].
Further Ventures rides the wave of digital transformation in financial markets, leveraging trends like blockchain adoption, tokenization of assets, decentralized finance (DeFi), and AI governance. The timing is critical as emerging economies seek to modernize their financial infrastructure and integrate with global capital markets, while institutional investors demand secure, scalable, and compliant digital asset solutions. By bridging these gaps, Further Ventures influences the broader ecosystem by accelerating innovation, fostering regulatory collaboration, and enabling new financial products that enhance liquidity, transparency, and access to capital globally[1][2][4].
Looking ahead, Further Ventures is poised to expand its influence by continuing to back startups that redefine capital market infrastructure, especially in emerging markets. Trends such as increased institutional adoption of digital assets, regulatory clarity around tokenization, and AI-driven financial governance will shape their journey. Their role as an institutional co-founder and their global network position them well to lead the next wave of financial innovation, potentially scaling their portfolio companies into dominant players in the future financial ecosystem. The annual Further Network Summit in Abu Dhabi further cements their role as a key convener and influencer in this space[1][5].
