𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 - 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁? Deep Tech Founders - here is a great "napkin" delivered by the strong First Momentum Ventures team. Some points that stick out: 👉 Leverage grants early. 👉 Show commercial savviness early on – how will you make money? 👉 Proof of Concept (PoC) and industrial pilots matter a lot. 👉 A roadmap with technical milestones that highlight your value inflection points is key – often, this is done too superficially. Valuation suggestions on this napkin might be on the higher end if you are first-time founder. Thanks to Sebastian Boehmer, Andreas Fischer and team for this! #deeptech

A handcrafted Japanese Gyuto knife. Only for cooking. The perfect blend of wood and Damascus steel. Definitely not those multitool Swiss army ones. We have stuck to our investment thesis since Jolt Capital's first vintage. Scaling the most promising European B2B deeptech companies. 12 years to sharpen the blade and to become master chefs. We are now ready to export and replicate the model in a few distant countries. The time of the growth deeptech asset class has come. Crucial for global issues. Vital for sovereignty. Indispensable for quality jobs. According to PitchBook, there are only 27 VC/PE firms headquartered in the EU, with an AuM between 0.5B and €5B, investing amounts between 10M and €100M, targeting innovative companies at growth stage level, and that don't shy away from deeptech. And if we narrow down to those ones investing exclusively in deeptech, Jolt Capital is one of the very few left. Gyuto knives are useless as screwdrivers, but when it comes to cutting in the kitchen, nothing can measure up. #deeptech #stick #pivot #expertise #knife #growthstage #growthcapital #privateequity #assetclass #specialization #multipurpose #platforming #investmentthesis #japan #excellence
