Deep-tech startups are specific types of entrepreneurial ventures that are based on disruptive technologies that are capital-intensive, research-intensive and require lengthy development processes. These characteristics make deep-tech startups more difficult to finance and commercialize than other kinds of entrepreneurial ventures. As such, failure rates are particularly high, which precludes certain opportunities to make societal and commercial impact. From our experiences with deep-tech startups, we believe they often fail due lack of tailored support, too few valuable connections and poor funding. Overall, today's innovation systems are not very well designed for deep-tech startups.
