The Fund began operations on October 1, 2015.
Research Priorities
The following is the current research priority list for the Future Technology Fund as of June 15, 2017. This list was compiled from suggestions by people close to the fund.
Some of these technologies may be impossible, but we should find out, not just dismiss ideas because they sound impossible or because we normally only see these ideas in science fiction.
These are the current research priorities, not in any particular order:

Funding Technology Development
​
Although governments and large corporations do fund technology development, there are many projects that don't get funded or don't get enough funding. These include some of the most visionary projects that might profoundly improve the conditions of human existence. One example is life extension. There are many others.
Investment decisions for the Future Technology Fund are made by an experienced financial professional with many years of investment experience and many years of experience reviewing business plans of technology startups including space-related companies.
Future Credits
Future Credits are a crypto currency that runs as an asset layer on the bitcoin blockchain using the counterparty system (see www.counterparty.io and www.futurecredit.org). Future Credits were created primarily to be used as a tool by the Fund to finance technological innovation. (See futurecredit.org for more information.)
How Future Credits Can Help Fund Projects
​
The Future Technology Fund plans to provide funding using regular money, but Future Credits can also be used and have already been used for helping fund technology projects.
