Further Ventures

Further publishes its team by first name only, which limits attribution. Nabyl is chairman and Faisal is managing partner. Olivier and Robbie are partners, Wajahat is partner serving as chief financial officer and chief operating officer, and Eugene is partner for the Liquid strategy. Gary and John are venture partners, John covering digital assets. Akshay is senior principal, Ganesh is principal and Miki is investment principal, with Isabella as general counsel and Angelo as a senior CISO consultant, an unusual in-house role that reflects the portfolio's concentration in custody and trading infrastructure. The firm positions itself as an institutional co-founder and staffs builders and operators who support portfolio management teams on regulatory affairs, business development, branding and talent acquisition, and it states it works proactively with regulators. Roughly seventeen people are listed on the team page.

Further does not disclose fund sizes, vintages or closing dates, and no vehicles appear under the Further Ventures name in SEC Form D company records, which is expected for an Abu Dhabi manager raising outside US registration. The platform is structured as three strategies rather than a numbered fund series: Further Ventures for direct company investments in financial infrastructure, the Further Liquidity Crypto Fund for institutional digital-asset exposure with active risk management and 24-hour market access, and a fund-of-funds allocating to outside venture and digital-asset managers. That last strategy carries the most informative disclosure available, because it names the firm's manager relationships: AlleyCorp, CoinFund, Hack VC, Science and SpaceWalk are listed as LP partnerships. The direct portfolio runs past 30 companies concentrated in asset custody, trading, derivatives settlement and tokenisation. Further describes its cheque behaviour as concentrated commitments from formation through Series A, with reserves held for follow-on rounds.
