Unleash Your Deep-Tech Startup Potential with Deep Pioneers: The Launchpad Where Scientists Meet Entrepreneurs
Where innovation meets opportunity
We understand the pivotal role that deep tech plays in shaping a better future for society and the planet. However, we also recognize that bringing deep tech innovations to market can be challenging. That's where we come in.
At DEEP Pioneers, we bring together the best of both worlds - experienced entrepreneurs and visionary scientists - to bring cutting-edge technologies to life. Our mission: build the right founding teams with the resources they need to turn their inventions into thriving businesses. We source disruptive technologies with high a high "technology readiness level" from across Europe, develop the founding team and connect with the rare species of "deep tech proof" investors to fuel growth. The market opportunities for deep tech solutions are immense, and we're here to help you tap into that potential.
Our Approach
There is neither a lack of technologies, nor of market opportunities. The startup ecosystem fails at connecting breakthrough technologies with experienced entrepreneurs and those investors who do not shy away from true deep tech startups. Hence, DEEP pioneers will fill this gap.
