Building Deep Tech Startups: AMA with Founders & VCs

Building a startup is hard, and building a Deep Tech startup is significantly harder. Generating IP is only one part of the challenge Deep Tech startups face – they also need to build a product that people want, reach product market fit, derive the right pricing models, and scale it quickly, all while handling high risk, managing front-loaded cashflows, recruiting niche talent, navigating uncertain regulations, and everything else that other startups routinely have to deal with.

In this Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, founders and investors from the world of Deep Tech startups will share their insights, expertise and experiences at ground 0, and answer any questions that you may have on what to expect while building your Deep Tech Startup. This session is ideal for founders, CXOs and developers building IP in the areas of foundational AI, robotics, IoT, material science, biotech, space tech, quantum computing, defence tech, and more.
