🚀 Are We Ready to Mine the Moon? 🌑 Imagine Space Robots mining on the Moon. This is not a scene from a sci-fi movie—it's the future, and it's happening now. We're in the era of a deeptech revolution, where boundaries are pushed, and what once seemed impossible is around the corner. I'm thrilled to share that we've been collaborating with some of the smartest teams tackling the hardest problems in deeptech. One standout is OffWorld, a space and robotics company currently embarking on their Series A raise. This video is the culmination of our work together that spanned brand strategy, fundraising narrative and this video. Deeptech is complex. Communicating its intricacies and potential, however, shouldn't be. It's about distilling this complexity into compelling, concise content that resonates—fueling not just fundraising but sales, marketing, and recruitment efforts. As we continue to support OffWorld and others at the frontier of innovation, we're reminded: the ability to inspire through story is as transformative as the technology itself. Thank you for the opportunity Jim Keravala, Amaresh Kollipara and Kevin Morris #deeptech #innovation #deeptechstartups #space #storytelling #marketing #fundraising

Check out my latest report on SpaceTech! It's an exciting time to invest in this sector. With Starship, the first fully reusable rocket, expected to decrease launch costs by as much as 94%, the ability for early-stage companies to access space will be unprecedented. This will enable a proliferation of space-based assets and a dramatic increase in space-based data and services. This is just one of several tailwinds. Robust, non-dilutive government support, amounting to billions of dollars, is flowing into early-stage companies, enabling hardtech companies to overcome the much-feared "valley of death."

An interesting report by Dealroom.co “ Impact Startup 2023”. Climate tech is one of the fastest growing markets in Venture Capital in general. 🚀 Carbon tracking & offsets grew more than 300x in the last 5 years! 🚀 Carbon Capture and Storage grew around 80x in the last 5 years ! 🚀 climate tech in general has more than 100 billion of funding between 22-2023. 🚀 interesting to see Fusion comparing to quantum computing both are tough tech and starting to interest the VC ecosystem but still with modest growth multiples. 🚀 amazing to see that even with all hype around generative AI, carbon tech grew faster but got a bit less funding. #venturecapital #impactinvesting #climatetech #sustainability #carbonremoval
