By sharing resources and risk, the likelihood of building successful deep tech ventures together is much higher. We therefore actively build long-term partnerships with corporates such as Lenovo and dentsu as well as ecosystem players such as 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 to pool resources and expertise, ensuring a holistic support system.

How to right-size your DeepTech fund in Europe? 1. "Opportunity vs. Necessity". Balance opportunity and the necessity to stay on the right track. You need to manage both to be successful. 2. Capital constraints. The last two generations of venture funds are around $100-200M. Deploying even $20M in a successful company can be a struggle. 3. Multi-stage approach. Most firms pick up first checks at seed, seed plus, and sometimes Series A. Transitioning to Series B and C requires more capital. 4. Hardware challenges: In hardware, you can't just do the seed and leave it at that. The ecosystem isn't fully developed, and capital is key. 5. Growth opportunity funds: Growth funds help right-size venture opportunities. They are often invested in late-stage rounds. 6. Focus on signals: Don't just top up capital; focus on the right signals. Avoid making early investments to prevent underperformance later. 7. Late-stage investments: Investing at late Series B and C stages is common. Look for an outside lead investor writing a big check. 8. Proven product: By late-stage, companies should have a proven product and market. They should have initial customers and sales. 9. Limited hardware companies: Challenges and capital intensity limit the number of hardware companies in portfolios. 10. Capital intensity: Capital intensity is a major challenge in deep tech. Learning how to manage it effectively may be the most important thing you can do for your fund. What do you think?

The only actual way to get funding from venture capitalists -> Fundraising is about storytelling. You have to tell a story of a  -Problem -Solution -Traction Investors, particularly venture capitalists love that story. They want to know your plans to drive customer acquisition and build your business up from the ground. They want to know how much you can X a stake of $5M in 5 years. Not just some track record of balance sheets, access, cost, liability and/or equity. Why many ideas never get picked on is either because the founder is  -Not telling the right story or -Not telling the right audience. This is why my team and I as a procedure of due diligence vet every project submission for our Business Summit. We do not vet to screen out.  We vet to align your story to the interests of our ready investors.  We vet to bring you the investment commitment you deserve on terms favorable to both parties.  We vet to give you a chance to bring your ideas to reality. Project submissions for our Lisbon summit are currently ongoing. There’s never been a better time to seize an opportunity than now. DM to get in touch.
