About FTC

Research‑first family office. Founder/operator‑led. Selective by design.

First Turn Capital is a founder-led family office built for the First Turning—the renewal cycle when old institutions reboot and new ones get written in software, incentives, and open rails. We back AI, crypto, and frontier technologies that will become the scaffolding of what’s next.

We invest early across equity, tokens, and secondaries. Focus areas include AI infrastructure and agents, cryptography and programmable finance, developer tooling, and digital property rails. We’re hands-on with company design, go-to-market, and capital strategy—founders funding founders.

Turn Signal is our research stream in two flavors: Signals (actionable ideas with skin-in-the-game disclosures) and Maps (context on why now and what to watch). It’s our humble way to structure our thinking about the future—and, when relevant, to publish the underlying investment memos. We frame each piece from the Fourth Turning (reset) to the First Turn (build) and tag it with Conviction, Conditions, and Horizon. We update as facts change. Framing, not advice.

We partner with founders turning hard problems into the infrastructure of the future. If that’s you, let’s talk.
