Deeptech companies and funding signals

The situation

Deeptech companies complicate funding signals, for a reason specific to them. Start from this: deeptech companies are usually pre revenue and post funding, which inverts every normal qualifier, and funding signals follows. Worth knowing about deeptech companies, since funding signals inherits it: a grant is not a customer, and treating award money as traction reads the company backwards. We keep 1 preconfigured task for funding signals on deeptech companies, across 1 tool.

What is at stake

New money at deeptech companies gets spent faster in the first ninety days than at any other point, and everyone knows it.

The method

1. Start with one of deeptech companies you already know, so a wrong funding signals answer is obvious rather than plausible.
2. Run Funding Record across your list of deeptech companies, which carries 1 ready made setup for funding signals.
3. Read ten rows of funding signals on deeptech companies by hand before you trust the rest of the list.

Traditional Search Tools

• Patent registers, for deeptech companies. Free, slow to update, and the clearest evidence that the science is real.
• Crunchbase. The obvious answer, good coverage, and a paid tier for anything programmatic. Everyone targeting funded companies is looking at the same rows.
• SEC EDGAR Form D. Free, authoritative, and earlier than the press by weeks in some cases. US only, and the filings are unpleasant to parse.
• An investor's portfolio page. If you sell to one kind of company, three funds cover most of your market and both publish every new investment.
• Read the announcements. TechCrunch, the SEC Form D feed, the company's own blog. Free, public, and about twenty minutes a day to keep up with one sector.
