From Features to Outcomes: The Shift Deep Tech Startups Need Deep tech startups, listen up! Focusing solely on your technology’s features might be holding you back from securing the investment you deserve. A quote from Richard St-Pierre, and he nailed it: “Investors don’t want to hear about the tech’s bells and whistles. We want to know why customers care.” It’s all about the outcomes your technology delivers. Take this example: An AI-powered robotics company isn’t just harvesting broccoli with precision; it’s optimising soil health, reducing costs, and boosting yields. These are the outcomes that matter to investors and customers alike. Here’s how to highlight your outcomes: 1. Understand Customer Pain Points: What specific problems are you solving? 2. Quantify the Benefits: Use numbers to show improvements. 3. Share Real Stories: Testimonials and case studies make your impact tangible. Shifting your focus from what your tech does to the real-world benefits it provides can transform your pitch and make your startup irresistible to investors.

For an early-stage investor, the founder's personality is more important than the sector in which the startup operates. But it is also extremely important to forecast future trends. I mostly agree with the article. #spacetech has big potential and Europe can be competitive here. We have focused on the space vertical during our last year #engagedinvestment conference last year. And hopefully showed the way to a few more investors. Robotics is a big topic for sure. And we have warehousing and logistics on mind for some time. So far, we have invested in great teams in twinzo and Ringil. https://lnkd.in/eEGN58yu
