Futurepresent

Futurepresent is a venture capital firm operating across the United States and Europe that invests in early-stage artificial intelligence platforms, physical AI, and AI infrastructure. The firm focuses on funding applied AI solutions within complex, labor-constrained industries, partnering with technology founders from inception through their early growth stages to build transatlantic connections. Operating with a highly concentrated investment strategy, the firm formally launched with a $300 million Fund I after operating in stealth for over a year to prioritize long-term founder relationships. Prior to its public debut, the partnership completed 14 early-stage investments and leverages the institutional experience of its team members who previously worked at Cherry Ventures, General Catalyst, and First Momentum Ventures. Futurepresent was founded in 2026 by repeat founders and partners Thomas Lueke, Johnson Yang, Jan Rettel, and David Meiborg.
