Forwards Fund is a private angel investor network that builds early-stage deep tech startups solving the greatest problems in critical infrastructure sectors. From energy, mining, and agriculture, to manufacturing, logistics, and defense, we focus on founders and ideas that have the potential to revolutionize the industries that keep humanity running. With a first principles approach and pioneering ambition, we help tomorrow's leaders in engineering and technology move the world forwards.
At Forwards Fund, we believe in the power of engineering and technology to solve humanity's greatest challenges. Our manifesto is a call to action for founders, builders, and visionaries who are unafraid to tackle the hardest problems in critical infrastructure. We champion first principles thinking, bold ambition, and a relentless drive to move the world forwards. Our mission is to empower pioneers who are building the foundations of tomorrow, today.
We invest in those who dare to reimagine the future of energy, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, and defense. We see a massive underrepresentation of deep tech startups in the American venture ecosystem, and we are committed to changing that. We seek to catalyze the next generation of transformative, meaningful, and high-impact companies that will define the 21st century and beyond.
We embrace the vision of cowboy capitalism. A fearless, independent approach to innovation and entrepreneurship. Founders with contrarian perspectives, a chip on their shoulder, and seasoned personal convictions. Builders who value grit, resilience, and the rugged individualism that once built the American West. Visionaries with free-market thinking, frontier curiosity, a risk-tolerant mentality, and a pioneering spirit.
We seek to bring back the golden age of American manufacturing: onshore, American-made, and cutting-edge. We believe that a strong industrial base is essential for national security, economic prosperity, and the well-being of future generations.
