Why subscribe to DeepTech Deep?
Great that you are here. Welcome to my public notebook in blog format as I travel the world of Deep Tech startups...
Subscribe to DeepTech Deep to receive regular, snackable updates on topics related to Deep Tech Entrepreneurship with insights into the latest research and practice.
The blog includes the following three regular sections, within which new content appears periodically:
(1) Thoughts on DeepTech: This section delves into ideas around Deep Tech entrepreneurship, often with a research focus, but certainly not only.
(2) Voices of DeepTech: Here you find short conversations with European and US Deep Tech founders and other ecosystem contributors - sometimes incl. audio clips.
(3) Pick of the month: This section presents exciting content on the topic of Deep Tech entrepreneurship, including academic papers, books, podcasts, and occasionally even novels. The aim is to feature the latest research, current debates, and developments as well as broader philosophical foundations that are shaping the Deep Tech ecosystem.
Last but not least, this is a hobby project—and essentially a prototype in its early stages. Expect to see some adjustments to formats and structures as things progress—possibly based on your feedback. In addition, it will be a repository for my ongoing research - not exhaustive and sometimes messy. So, much like in the venture space, if you're curious, come join the journey…
Subscribers will also have the opportunity to comment on the content and I would love to receive feedback from you and this way develop a lively little space for knowledge sharing about Deep Tech.
