Founded in 2019, Future Networks is dedicated to unlocking the full potential of Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN).
We recognised the game-changing power of DePIN early on and have since focused on driving innovation by supporting the most promising projects in this space.
Initially focused on deploying DePIN hardware at scale, we’ve evolved to become an active advisor to DePIN projects.
Whether you’re a DePIN startup seeking support & rapid hardware network growth, a business looking for extra yield on your assets, or an individual looking to participate in DePINs with mitigated risks, we invite you to join us in building the networks of the future.
Our Mission
Our mission revolves around 3 key pillars
Spearhead the development of DePIN globally
By partnering with DePIN projects & making DePIN hardware accessible to the masses, we’re playing our role in unlocking DePIN’s full potential.
Be a trusted partner to DePIN projects through their growth phase
We do more than just hardware deployment. We’re DePIN veterans,
and draw on our experience to steer you away from common pitfalls & towards success.
Enable participation in only the best DePIN projects for businesses & individuals
We provide DePIN hardware for free, sharing the token revenue. You can be sure that you’re only spending your time on the best, highest potential projects, and your risks are reduced as you never give us a penny.Â
Our Value Add
We work side by side with DePIN projects to support them through scale
Born out of deploying Helium hotspots, we went on to roll out the world’s largest fleet of Hivemapper HDC dashcams.
By deploying hardware and staying close to both the core team & the community, we understand the nuances of successfully scaling DePIN projects. People get passionate when it comes to investments. For the projects we work with, we filter out the noise to provide actionable insights, and for the community, we are your voice to the founding team.
Our experience allows us to bridge the gap between operational needs and building the infrastructure. We provide value through our hands-on, strategic approach to support you through your growth.
Our Team
We have the right blend of operational excellence, VC experience and DePIN knowledge to excel at both hardware deployment and supporting projects directly.
