About

Further Ventures is an Abu Dhabi venture investor that describes itself as an institutional co-founder. It launched in September 2022 with a $200m fund anchored by ADQ, the Abu Dhabi holding company. It sits under the Further brand, an Abu Dhabi investment platform covering venture capital, structured products and digital assets.

The firm backs fintech, digital asset and AI companies from formation through Series A and beyond. Alongside capital, it offers regulatory affairs support, including incorporation, regulatory filings and licensing, as well as talent and business development help. Its portfolio includes Dfns, Zodia Custody, KAIO, Grvt, Twinstake, Pave Bank and Four Pillars.

Much of its portfolio is digital asset infrastructure, such as custody, wallets, staking and tokenised funds. It says it engages proactively with regulators, and in January 2025 it led a $16m Series A in Dfns, a wallet infrastructure provider.
