Fewer bars = easier, cheaper, or faster for an AI-assisted solo builder. Editorial judgments based on the case details.
Ken Thomas moved from retail banking and a mortgage fintech in New York to London, where a founder invited him to start a venture fund. Back Future Ventures has been operating for about 1 year and 10 months at the time of the interview. It is a micro-VC focused on B2B SaaS and investing globally. The fund's target assets under management are $10 million; its first close was $3 million in June, and it had completed 12 deals by the end of 2024 after making its first investment in September. That works out to roughly one deal a month, spanning Brazil, the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland. The team writes six-figure checks and positions itself as an ecosystem player: meeting founders, connecting people and staying involved through a liquidity event. The operating insight is that a small fund is a relationship business with a long time horizon, not a software product with a short sales cycle.
