About
FutureArc Entertainment is a multidimensional holding group that forms part of Jacobsen Family Office.
​
We believe entertainment and culture are sacred and exist to serve humanity & that entertainment and culture is not simply a product—it is a prophecy.
​
At the helm is Michael Jacobsen, a trusted advisor to government leaders, cultural institutions, and visionary organizations.
​

Whether through high-level government strategy, immersive entertainment, cultural infrastructure, or female-led platforms, FutureArc Entertainment offers a full-spectrum solution for the emerging cultural economy.
What We Do
FutureArc Entertainment operates as a multidivisional group, advising global clients on the design and execution of strategic initiatives that connect culture, commerce, and competitive positioning. We build the frameworks that define how nations express themselves, how entertainment ecosystems are structured, and how future-facing capital is invested for long-term impact.
​
Our clients include ministries, sovereign funds, city-scale developments, and private investors and developers seeking the qualitative and quantitative returns stemming from engagement with the cultural economy with precision and authority.
Through visionary leadership, strategic design, and the power of voice, we become the vehicle by which nations, movements, and ideas transcend borders and define eras.
​
We shape the cultural, spiritual, and strategic ecosystems of tomorrow.
Spanning government advisory, immersive entertainment, sovereign storytelling, and capital ventures, we serve as a bridge between vision and realization—anchoring consciousness-driven cultural innovation.
