Future Industry Ventures

Future Industry Ventures represents a strategic partnership between Redstone and SBI Group, focusing exclusively on European sustainable industrial systems. This collaboration leverages Redstone's innovative venture capital methodology with SBI's extensive financial expertise to identify and support transformative industrial technologies across Europe. The partnership embodies a commitment to sustainability while fostering industrial innovation through targeted capital deployment and strategic guidance.

Redstone (redstone.vc) has revolutionized traditional venture capital through its data-driven investment approach, creating a distinctive VC-as-a-Service model that provides advisory services to corporations developing venture capital initiatives. Their proprietary analytics platform enables precise trend forecasting, segment benchmarking, and investment target identification across various sectors. Operating from six countries, Redstone brings together a diverse international team comprising serial entrepreneurs, data scientists, and investment banking professionals who structure and manage multiple sector-focused funds alongside global co-investment partners.

SBI Group, established in 1999 as SoftBank's financial arm, pioneered the world's first internet-based financial ecosystem before evolving into one of Japan's leading financial conglomerates. Under SBI Holdings, Inc., the group has developed Japan's largest online bank by assets and the country's largest online securities trading platform by customer base. Their investment division, SBI Investment, has established itself as one of the world's most active FinTech investors, demonstrating deep expertise in identifying disruptive financial technologies and scaling promising ventures across global markets.

The expansion of SBI from a primarily Japanese operation to a global financial entity marked a significant strategic shift, culminating in the establishment of their first European representative office in Berlin in March 2019. This European presence, combined with Redstone's extensive continental network, positions Future Industry Ventures to identify early-stage opportunities in sustainable industrial technologies across the European innovation ecosystem. The fund benefits from both organizations' complementary strengths: Redstone's data-centric approach to identifying emerging trends and promising startups, alongside SBI's substantial financial resources and experience scaling technology companies in competitive markets.
