What This Playbook Is About
 Our Deep Tech Playbook is not just a guide—it's a strategic framework for those who refuse to let breakthrough science be dictated by outdated business models. This playbook is designed for scientists, deep-tech entrepreneurs, and investors who understand that scientific innovation follows the laws of physics, chemistry, and biology—not traditional business logic.
 Key Insights
