Investment thesis
Deeptech Seed Fund backs spinout-stage deeptech ventures in Europe and North America that are commercializing defensible IP but are too early for traditional investors. It targets companies showing early signs of global demand and existing customer connections, often before they generate revenue. The firm applies its proprietary Scorecard to quantify early adopter interest and pre-revenue commitment, providing an objective read on commercial potential. Beyond capital, it offers access to a network of international and later-stage investors and works closely with deeptech incubators such as ICURe and I-Corps to help startups reach early and growth-stage milestones and bridge the gap between research and market readiness.
