Further Ventures works with founders as early as idea stage to validate, prototype, and launch new companies. Created to be the ultimate co-founder, Further Ventures takes common stock, handles seed capital, deals with regulators, and brings collective expertise to help ventures become category-leading companies.
Started in 2022, Further Ventures has announced a $200M fund anchored by the Abu Dhabi-based ADQ sovereign wealth fund, focusing on investments in fintech, digital assets, and logistics companies. The firm operates as a true co-founding partner, not just a financial investor.
Further Ventures represents a new model of venture building in Abu Dhabi — combining sovereign-backed capital with hands-on company building to create market-leading startups from the ground up across MENA and globally.
