A Deep-Tech Company is a company that is deep rooted in new science and engineering innovation. Deep-Tech companies have differentiated IP and either build hardware or write software tuned for specific hardware.
Most Deep-Tech companies are capital intensive given the amount of time needed to: 1) prove out the core science and engineering innovation, 2) build a first prototype, 3) validate a viable product, 4) scale a commercial product, and finally 5) scale the business.
Deep-Tech Companies are hard to build, hard to scale, but if done right, they are hard to replicate.
