I had a fantastic time on the Audrow Nash podcast. Give it a listen! The rules for deep tech investing are still unwritten and there is still so much science to be invented and commercialized it is the best time to be alive and into science investing.
How are investors navigating the wild frontier of robotics startups? The rules for deep tech investing are still being written. I talk with Brannon Jones (@robotjonez), DeepTech Investor at AlleyCorp (@alley_corp) about why robotics is an untamed investment landscape,
