For the Brilliant, the Brave, and the Builders
We partner with founders who think differently — deep-tech researchers, behavioural scientists, creative technologists, and domain experts with ideas that could redefine an industry.
You might come with a thesis, a prototype, or simply a question you can’t stop asking. What matters is the clarity of your insight and the drive to turn it into something real.
We help you shape that signal into a venture — matching you with design, data, and technical partners who can move fast and build well.
True Co-Founder Ownership
Every discovery sprint begins with you at the centre. You lead from day one — exploring, testing, and refining your thesis with studio funding and infrastructure behind you.
When the company spins out, you keep full autonomy, meaningful equity, and ongoing support from 21 Futures.
Our goal is to make the path from idea to ownership faster, clearer, and more repeatable — so you can build with confidence and focus on what only you can do.
World-Class Infrastructure and Support
Behind every founder is the studio: shared tools, design systems, data pipelines, and access to leading AI partners and operator networks.
We provide the scaffolding — you build the company.
From legal and finance to technical architecture and early storytelling, our team helps remove friction so you can scale your vision without distraction.
Every new venture strengthens the next, compounding insight and capability across the portfolio.
