    We turn deeptech into business.

    We help deeptech companies win customers, grants and venture capital. For the ones we believe in, we invest part of our own fee.

    Customers. Grants. Venture capital.

    In deeptech these are not separate problems. A pilot unlocks a subsidy. A subsidy finances a demonstration. A demonstration produces a customer. A customer makes a round possible.

    You built it. 
    We find the market and sell it. 

    This is the Customers track. You bring the technical depth. We do the rest: where to focus, which companies to chase, how to get in the room and how to keep it moving.

    Grants and venture capital work the same way, with their own pages.

    1. 01Find where it can winWe narrow it down to where the technology is clearly better and someone has budget now.

    2. 02Find the right companiesWe build a list of companies and people worth going after, with the reasoning behind every name.

    3. 03Get into the conversationWe find the right person, make the intro and start the conversation.

    We're in this together.

    Deeptech companies need commercial traction long before they have cash to spare. For companies we believe in, we can invest part or all of our fee.

    It converts into equity later, based on how much we put in and the company's future valuation.

    What we invest€30,000

    We would end up with about

    0.38%equity

    Converted at a 20% discount to that round's price.

    Work in progress

    From a promising technology to a commercial plan.

    A Dutch biotech company is developing a way to activate medicines with light. The technology could be used in many ways. We are helping the team decide where to start.

    What we are working on

    • Market selection
    • Evidence planning
    • Partner mapping
    • Grant strategy
