Welcome!

Hi! We’re Neal Swaelens and Lukas Malmberg and we’ve created The Venture Brief in order to help anyone get a better picture of the early-stage venture space. A while ago, we asked ourselves: Where can one find comprehensive summaries on emerging industries and breakthrough technologies that matter - ahead of the curve? When we couldn’t find a satisfactory answer, we decided to create Futurama.

What it’s all about

At Futurama, we dissect emerging industries and breakthrough technologies that solve meaningful problems and have the potential to change the way we live. We deliver a monthly issue and bi-weekly podcast episodes, keeping you ahead of the curve with a thoughtful analysis, compiled from +100 hours of research and interviews with leading scientists, investors, and the most ambitious entrepreneurs. We connect the dots between science and entrepreneurship and take you on a journey that will provide you with glimpses of what the future holds.
