Venture Capital Shifts Focus from Lean Startup Model to Deep Tech Opportunities Amid Research-Oriented Development

The venture capital landscape is undergoing a transformation, with a shift from the lean startup model to deep tech startups. Industry experts suggest that the era of lean startups, which thrived on rapid iteration and software distribution to achieve product-market fit, is coming to an end. Deep tech is emerging as a more substantial opportunity, characterized by research-oriented development and longer R&D periods. This transition indicates a cyclical relationship between financial and production capital, where deep tech companies are expected to rely more on technical feedback rather than market feedback during their development processes. Notable venture capitalists, including Adam Draper and Boost VC, are being highlighted as potential sources of funding for deep tech founders.
