About Future Proof Advisors & Smarter, LLC

Our organizations are made up of people who are doers, creators, drivers and innovators. Our goal is simple: Provide value, create change and have fun while doing it.

Future Proof Advisors (FPA) works with CEO’s and founders to reimagine their strategies and visions when the business is flattening out or coming under competitive threat with the goal of a quantifiable increase in sales, profits and/or enterprise value. We’ve pivoted that success to add our own collection of early-stage companies to incubate ideas that matter. As incubators our goal is to demonstrate proof of concept, market acceptance and sales growth with the same rigor we give to our FPA members. Smarter LLC (www.thesmarterservice) is our most recent venture, solving a critical gap in the market. A service to help Older Adults support & use technology with confidence while helping them discover new things.

Over 50% of Older Adults experience frustration with technology on a weekly basis but lack a trusted, single point of contact to help them leverage technology to provide freedom and live a connected life. Traditional tech support isn’t cutting it.

We can do better.
