Halcyon Futures challenges accomplished leaders from business, technology, and public policy to tackle civilization-scale challenges and supports them in founding new high-impact organizations or taking senior roles at existing ones. The organization provides seed funding, co-founder introductions, board support, community building, and career advisory services. It is paired with Halcyon Ventures, a VC fund that backs for-profit founders building solutions in AI security and resilience. Together, the two entities have incubated roughly 20 organizations and companies that have collectively raised over $350 million in follow-on funding.

Theory of Change
Halcyon Futures believes the most effective way to reduce existential risk from transformative AI is to ensure that exceptional, mission-aligned leaders are empowered to start new organizations and take on high-leverage roles at a critical moment in history. By providing seed funding, co-founder introductions, operational support, and community at the zero-to-one stage, Halcyon can catalytically launch organizations — in technical AI safety, governance, policy, and resilience — that would not otherwise exist. Each successfully incubated organization then pursues its own theory of change for reducing x-risk, while Halcyon's portfolio approach diversifies bets across multiple intervention types.
