Why I Built Future Now Partners

I’ve spent my life solving problems and building things — from tracking down gene mutations that cause blindness, to building skateparks, raising £11 million for my community and leading a 871-person world record that Guinness called more organized than the Beijing Olympics.

But here’s what I’ve learned: the biggest breakthroughs don’t come from ideas alone — they happen when the right people come together to build and scale, so real impact reaches the people who need it.

Future Now Partners exists to do exactly that. We originate IP, systems and architectures, then work with partners who can help test, shape and scale them responsibly.

In our first six months, that has already meant:

• Two patent‑pending inventions spanning power systems and engagement architecture
• A community energy project with grant applications submitted and partners engaged
• Actively seeking academic and industry collaborators around feasibility and scale for our patent pending projects

This is early work — by design. Our focus is on creating the right conditions for better decisions, earlier, and building clear pathways from feasibility to real‑world deployment.

What We Believe

• Innovation deserves execution. Ideas are nothing unless they get built.
• Communities deserve ownership. Whether it’s founders or residents, the people at the centre should share the benefits.
• Every project deserves a pathway. From feasibility to “lights on,” we make sure there’s a real plan to install and scale

How We Work

• We originate IP and systems — focusing on building and scaling.
• We actively pursue partnerships, licences, pilots and spin‑outs to move ideas into the real world.
• Our goal is simple: build things that matter, scale them responsibly, and ensure their impact reaches the people who need them

Future Now Partners is for people who want to roll up their sleeves, think seriously, and build what’s next—together. If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
