The catalyst for deep tech success

Deeptech Labs invests in, creates and scales global, deep tech companies

Our Value Creation Platform brings together venture creation, venture acceleration and value scaling – connecting specialist expertise, talent, technology and capital to build globally significant deep tech companies.

Venture Creation

We work with universities, research institutions, founders and partners to identify promising technologies and opportunities, form new ventures and build the foundations for scale. Twice a year Deeptech Labs invest in a small number of deep tech seed stage startups. Then we work intensively with them in a structured, 10-week programme, which ends in a Demo Day.

Venture Acceleration

Our established programmes combine intensive company-building support with access to experienced deep tech founders, operators, investors and industry specialists.We work with an elite community of leaders who have built and scaled deep technology companies to develop our cohort’s networks.

Value Scaling

We work alongside ambitious deep tech companies beyond initial formation and acceleration, strengthening strategy, commercialisation, teams, international expansion and access to capital.

We deploy these capabilities with regional and international partners to build stronger deep tech ecosystems – connecting research, venture creation, specialist company-building support and capital into a sustained pipeline of globally ambitious businesses.

Twice a year, our cohort of startups are embedded in a powerful network of successful entrepreneurs, expert practitioners, leading researchers, and deep tech organisations worldwide.

Having a new technology at the heart of a business isn’t just an extra work stream, it fundamentally changes the nature of the challenge. It’s not just a startup + tech, it’s a technology startup. Cambridge is Europe’s leading technology cluster for these startups and has been a leading source of technological understanding and commercialisation as far back as Babbage and Lovelace.

Many technologies fail to be widely deployed due to strategically ill-judged early decisions. Deeptech Labs offers startups with these technologies access to expert practitioners who have successfully trodden the path.
