Futurehain Gmbh

What Futurehain Gmbh does

Futurehain GmbH is a Berlin-based, privately held strategy agency and creative studio founded in 2021, structured as a German limited liability company (GmbH) registered at Strausberger Pl. 6, 10243 Berlin (HRB 252798 B). The firm operates under the self-described "Agency for Science" positioning and is led by Managing Directors Matyas Kovacs and Felix Rundel. It functions as a small core team of 1–10 employees without disclosed external investors or parent entities.

The company's offering is organized around three interconnected service pillars. Science Strategy translates visionary ideas into concepts, roadmaps, prize mechanisms, and strategic due diligence for science-driven organizations. Science Management provides fast-track launch, scaling, day-to-day project management, stakeholder relations, and community activation for flagship and moonshot science initiatives. Science Communication builds purpose-driven platforms, campaigns, content, and events that make complex scientific topics accessible to broader audiences. Event and convening delivery is provided in conjunction with the sister company CCM – Centre for Convening Minds, with an additional ecosystem that includes Science of Rave, Soiree XD, and ALREADY POSSIBLE.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated through bespoke, quote-based project engagements and retainer arrangements with no public pricing, no proprietary technology platform, and no disclosed funding or revenue figures. The customer base spans research institutions, foundations, innovation-prize bodies, and EU-level initiatives, with named clients including DESY, XPRIZE, the Körber-Foundation, the Volkswagen Foundation, the Bosch Health Campus, the European Quantum Flagship, IBT Lower Saxony, the Berlin University Alliance, the Schering Foundation, and UNESCO's Futures Literacy Labs. Geography is nominally global via website-led direct engagement, though the legal entity is domiciled in Berlin.
