Getting the DeepTech Message Across

DeepTech startups push the boundaries of innovation, but one of their biggest challenges isn’t just the tech --> it’s making it understandable!

Building a good pitch is a known challenge common to all early-stage founders.

But you are a special breed - a 'Deep Tech' founder.

So the challenge is even bigger. How can you explain the technology your idea is based on to an audience who lacks the technical background?

This will be our topic in the upcoming Coller competition Deep Tech live event.

We will share views, experiences, and best practices for tackling this challenge.

Our panel will include both founders and investors - those who tell and those who listen to Deep Tech storytelling.
