Fundraising for deep tech:
DeepTech startups are companies that use breakthrough technology and science to tackle some of the world's biggest challenges. Despite the challenges of bringing these technologies to market and the high risks involved, deep tech startups attract a lot of attention from investors. This is because they offer the potential for high returns through the development of disruptive technologies and a sustainable competitive advantage over established industries.
The role of universities and research centers is crucial in the development of deep tech startups. These institutions provide access to cutting-edge technology, talent, and expertise.
