Forwards Fund is a private angel investor network focused on early-stage deep tech startups solving the greatest problems in critical infrastructure sectors — including energy, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, and defense. The fund champions a 'first principles' approach and 'cowboy capitalism': a fearless, independent, risk-tolerant, and frontier-minded philosophy that values grit and rugged individualism. Forwards Fund sees a massive underrepresentation of deep tech startups in the American venture ecosystem and is committed to changing that by catalyzing the next generation of transformative, high-impact companies. It also advocates for American reindustrialization — bringing back onshore, American-made, cutting-edge manufacturing as essential for national security and economic prosperity.
