Philippine VC firm Future Now Ventures is on an investment spree.
<a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.futurenow.ventures/" target="_blank"> Future Now Ventures</a> has invested in five more technology startups based in the Philippines and Australia, engaged in cloud services and business applications.
The five startups were <a style="color: #333399;" href="http://barhead.ph" target="_blank">Barhead</a>, <a style="color: #333399;" href="https://jesi.io" target="_blank">Jesi</a>, <a style="color: #333399;" href="http://advvy.com" target="_blank">Advvy</a>, <a style="color: #333399;" href="http://allfamous.com" target="_blank">AllFamous</a>, and <a style="color: #333399;" href="http://phonebooky.com" target="_blank">Booky</a>. Jesi and Advvy are based in Australia.
Future Now Ventures founder and CEO John Orrock said, the firm&#8217;s startup investments in the last six months have reached around $4 million.
The venture capital firm has put in $1 million in Barhead, $500,000 each in Advvy and Jesi while it has injected $250,000 in Booky.
&#8220;For Barhead we just committed a million dollars, there will probably be a lot more,&#8221; Orrock said, declining to disclose funding details in AllFamous.

Other investments made by Future Now in the past six months include funding <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://reekoh.com" target="_blank">Reekoh</a>, <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.cloudswyft.com/" target="_blank">CloudSwyft</a> , <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://joomajam.com/" target="_blank">Ritmo Learning Lab</a>, <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.FlySpaces.com" target="_blank">FlySpaces</a>, among others.
Barhead is a dominant <a style="color: #000080;" href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-ph/" target="_blank">Microsoft</a> Cloud Deployment Partner; Jesi is a global management software company that operates in over 16 countries; AllFamous is engaged in digital marketing, social media consulting and outsourcing; Phonebooky is the maker of restaurant booking app Booky; and Advvy is a cloud programmatic ad platform being developed for the media industry.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve been more active in terms of investments, around $3 million to $4 million in the last six months. We&#8217;re really focusing on the category of enterprise SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) application and cloud-based consulting services,&#8221; Orrock said.

&#8220;We&#8217;re very bullish on Microsoft CRM online which Barhead will drive into. Our target there is to build up a very strong offshore presence of consultants. Right now we have close to a hundred here, we&#8217;re doing it locally but also on our efforts in Australia,&#8221; he added.
Orrock noted that Barhead serves as take three of his SaaS space CRM service like in his former company <a style="color: #000080;" href="https://www.cloudsherpas.com/about/">Cloud Sherpas</a>, a global cloud computing advisory and technology services company that was acquired by <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.accenture.com">Accenture</a> last September.
The Australian technopreneur highlighted that Booky currently has good web metrics and mobile app SMS booking, while AllFamous now supports large enterprises in digital marketing consulting.
