Future Planet Capital

Future Planet Capital was founded in the UK in 2015 by Douglas Hansen-Luke after two years of research into how institutional capital could support innovation addressing major global challenges. It is headquartered in London and invests internationally.

The firm provides seed, venture and growth capital to startups, university spinouts and scaling companies emerging from leading universities and innovation ecosystems. Its focus areas include climate change, health, education, security and sustainable growth, with investments mapped against the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Future Planet combines venture investing with a data-driven sourcing and impact-assessment process. Its stated strengths are identifying science- and technology-led companies early, supporting them through multiple stages of growth, and measuring both commercial performance and potential social or environmental impact.
