About

Why Thesis

  1. [ The work ]

    Universities and RTOs produce much of the underlying research that deep tech comes from, and more institutions now use dedicated funds to finance spinouts.

  2. [ The need ]

    The market remains fragmented. Fund managers build international investor relationships separately, and LPs lack a focused view of UVC and RTO fund managers. These funds need one dedicated event.

  3. [ The mission ]

    To put capital and research commercialisation in the same room: maximum relevance, zero noise.
