Everything you need to know about getting your pitch deck investor-ready
Frontier tech investors evaluate: scientific or engineering breakthrough (published research, patents), team credentials and domain expertise, IP defensibility, commercialization pathway (beachhead market), and realistic timeline from lab to product. They accept longer horizons but want clear milestones.
Use the "grandmother test": explain what your technology does (not how) in one sentence. Then show why it matters: what becomes possible that wasn't before? Use analogies, demos, and visual comparisons. Save deep technical details for the appendix.
Deep tech often follows: grants/SBIR (validate science) → pre-seed/angel (prototype) → seed (first customers/pilots) → Series A (scale). Many deep tech startups also use non-dilutive funding (DOE, NSF, DARPA) to extend runway between equity rounds.
Use market analogies: what existing market does your technology displace or expand? Show the "10x better" moment — when frontier tech becomes 10x cheaper/faster/better than current solutions, adoption follows. Reference adjacent technology adoption curves.
Strong academic credentials help but aren't mandatory. What matters is demonstrable domain expertise and the ability to attract talent. Many funded frontier tech startups have founding teams that combine deep technical knowledge with business/operational experience.
