'The arbitrage-seeking opportunists have no answer, or worse, chuckle at the question. I pass on those companies,' Steve Jurvetson says.
Steve Jurvetson, the founder of Future Ventures fund and a board member at SpaceX and Tesla, looks to invest in companies which"will be written about in history books."
That's the question that Steve Jurvetson, the founder of Future Ventures fund and a board member at SpaceX and Tesla, asks companies seeking funding. His investment strategy seeks to find companies that will"be written about in history books" and says founders who have"infectious enthusiasm" are the ones he funds.
Jurvetson was an early investor in SpaceX and says the best companies are ones which have"really rich and interesting answers which transcends their usual pitch to investors." Unlike many VC funds which have funding periods of five to seven years, Future Ventures operates on a 10-to-15-year plan with long-term projects, particularly those in space technology, quantum computing, and AI, taking priority.
