Our activities are designed to de‑risk deep‑tech entrepreneurship. We build companies from scratch, help international startups and scaleups enter new markets and work with corporates to co‑create ventures. Each one starts with rigorous technology due diligence and ends with a roadmap to sustainable growth.
Venture Building
Our Deep Tech Venture Building Programme leads the end‑to‑end creation of new startups from breakthrough technologies. We identify research‑backed innovations, validate them with our scientific council, assemble complementary founder teams and support them towards investment readiness and launch.
​
We also deliver both venture building and tech due diligence (TDD) as dedicated services for select corporate and research partners. Accessing the technical feasibility, IP strength, and market readiness where we deliver actionable insights and/or co-developing ventures around strategic technologies or specific problem statements.
This isn’t about chasing hype. Deep tech venture building is about creating durable companies that solve real problems and building the systems around them to scale.
