So you wanna start a deep tech company? Good. The world needs more of you. But building hard tech is not like launching an app. The timelines are longer. The capital is bigger. The science can say no. But the payoffs can be enormous.
We're bringing together four deep tech founders who are in the thick of it. They'll share the real story. The wins, the near-death moments, and what they wish someone had told them on day one.
But the panel isn't the main event. You are.
This night is about meeting the people who will build what comes next. Future cofounders. Early hires. Fellow founders who get it. Come curious, leave with a crew.
Who should come: Aspiring deep tech founders. Current founders in defense, space, energy, robotics, compute, bio, and advanced manufacturing. Engineers and researchers wondering if it's time to jump.
What to expect:
Food and drinks on us
Plenty of swag at the door
