About
Deeptech Venture Network (DVN) is a community of non-partner investors united by a passion for groundbreaking technology and informal collaboration. The thesis of DVN is born from an understanding that non-transactional relationships and authentic engagement drives real value when working in the venture capital industry. Originally known as the Non-Partner Deeptech VCs, we began in July 2024 with just five founding members from prominent venture firms, including founding member Deeptech Labs (DTL) alongside co-founders Atlantic Bridge and IP Group. Today, we’ve rapidly grown into a vibrant network of over 65 members from over 50 different funds across the globe.
What we do
Informal Conversations, Exclusive Networking
At DVN, we host private events and casual meetups every quarter that give our members the space to connect over shared interests. By combining informal drinks, open discussions, and a “pay-it-forward” mindset, we aim help participants collaborate on cutting-edge deals, emerging trends, and introductions that support portfolio growth.
Community-Driven Resources
We maintain an updated Airtable to keep track of members’ public backgrounds and our flagship group chat to communicate upcoming events. Our restructured community channels—such as the DVN Discussion Forum and DVN Events Forum—streamline communication so you can focus on forging genuine relationships with peers and finding fresh opportunities.
Whats Next
From our modest beginnings as a small group of five to a 13x expansion in just five months, DVN has always thrived on its core value: bringing people together in a meaningful and informal setting. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from members, who highlight the refreshing change of pace and the level of open, high-caliber discussions, continues to inspire us as we host more events going into 2025
Looking ahead, we’re introducing a more structured community format to ensure we stay focused on deeptech while keeping things friendly and inclusive. New guidelines, admin roles, and event calendars are in place to ensure every member benefits from the network. As we grow, our vision remains the same: to enable conversations between ‘boots on the ground’ investors that spark innovation and build a stronger, more collaborative deeptech ecosystem.
