A lot of ideas sound promising in the early stages, but very few make it far enough to have real impact.

That space in between, where companies are trying to move from concept to reality, is where most deep tech businesses struggle to survive.

I’ve got Michelle Urben joining me for this episode. She’s working at the intersection of capital, innovation, and long-term impact, investing in sectors like energy, manufacturing, food, and health.

We’ll be getting into what it actually takes to support companies building complex technologies, and why capital alone is rarely enough to carry them through that middle phase.

We’re going into:

1. Funding: Bridging the Valley of Death in Deep Tech

2. Faith: Conscious Capitalism in Investment Decisions

3. Future Tech: Deep Tech and Frontier Technology Innovation

This is a space that requires a different kind of thinking, where timelines are longer, uncertainty is higher, and decisions carry real weight over time.

I’m looking forward to hearing how Michelle approaches investing and decision-making in environments like this.

If you’re around, jump in live.
