Turning science into
fundable ventures —
and successful ecosystems.
Startups, corporates, and institutions face the same problem:
market alignment & funding cycles don't match technology timelines.

Rate
92% of deep tech ventures collapse — ecosystems waste time and capital on the wrong bets. Our science-first method flips the odds: bottom-up & top-down.
Your first step? Get a personalized Capital Readiness Diagnosis.
Share a few details, and within days you’ll receive a tailored diagnosis: where you stand, what works, and where the gaps are — whether you’re a startup building from the lab up, or an institution shaping the ecosystem from the top down.
This is not generic advice. It’s a science-based mirror of your current position and your most promising next steps.
Who is it for
Our method serves deep tech startups and SMEs, who need fundability clarity before scaling — and institutions, corporates, and ecosystems, who must ensure their programs and investments back the right ventures.
What we do
We apply our proprietary 4x4-TETRA Deep Tech Matrix™ to map technology scalability, exit strategies, early monetization, and multi-layered funding stacks. Each case is benchmarked against 140+ projects and €85M+ secured capital.​
Why it matters
Deep tech collapses because funding and market logic are misaligned. Ecosystems lose alongside them. By reversing this pattern, we’ve proven: ventures progress faster, institutions de-risk their pipelines, and capital flows where it can compound.
Why now
Every month counts. Industry deals take 4–6 months, investors 6–9, and grants 9–12 — plus 1–3 months of strategy design. Waiting or guessing means losing cycles you can’t win back. Acting early secures your position before the Valley of Death closes in.
Our Method: Turning Science into Commercial Success
We don’t guess, we map. The 4x4-TETRA Deep Tech Matrix™ treats a deep tech venture as a state vector in superposition, with evidence, industrialization, market dynamics, governance, regulatory and capital constraints acting as operators on this state.
The framework aligns these factors across time and technology readiness levels (TRLs), then reverses from an intended exit to derive a probability‑weighted roadmap.
