Winning corporates or SMEs for PoCs, pilots, or contracts is slow and frustrating. Negotiations drag on, adoption of new tech is resisted, and too often your contact person has no budget authority.

Fundraising is a grind: long processes, reliance on warm intros, and countless meetings with investors unwilling to back true Deep Tech at the earliest stages.

WHAT ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT DTM
We had difficulties reaching top European VCs, but attending DTM was a game-changer. We secured term sheets from two top European VCs. The round was totally oversubscribed, and we doubled our round size, securing a substantially higher valuation than initially targeted.
Amir Ghadimi
CEO | Lightium
Events like DTM are too few in number. The energy, enthusiasm and “can do” spirit was palpable. I met some incredible people and have now connected with VCs I would never have had the opportunity to meet.
Arshia Gratiot,
Founder & CEO | Eupnoos
The quality of Deep Tech founders at DTM was truly inspiring. The three-day bootcamp in particular is a remarkable program that helps early-stage Deep Tech founders to build their businesses faster and to get funding easier.
Thomas Oehl
Partner | Vsquared Ventures
This three-day on-site bootcamp proved to be a transformative experience, providing invaluable insights from esteemed mentors, investors, and fellow founders within the deep tech sector.
Florian Schilli
Founder & CEO | Sat:io
Deep Tech Momentum provides a unique environment where European entrepreneurs, top universities, and investors can get together and exchange ideas.
Steven Jacobs
Partner | Lakestar
Deep Tech Momentum offered a remarkable opportunity to engage with some of Europe's best early-stage Deep Tech founders. We have found very exiting startups at the conference that we want to invest in.
Susanne K. Schorsch
Partner | Amadeus Capital Partners
Deep Tech Momentum connects global deep tech ecosystems through its marketplace and conferences. This aligns perfectly with Techstars’ mission to support founders and grow startup communities around the world.
