Dear friends,

A few days ago, Deep Tech Catalyst marked an important milestone: 1,000 days since I released the very first one.

1,000 days. 130 episodes. More than 2,500 minutes of conversations, ideas, and lessons from across the Deep Tech ecosystem.

To mark this milestone, I wrote a more personal post about how Deep Tech Catalyst started, what I learned along the way, how the ecosystem has changed since 2023, and where we are heading next.

I also share some behind-the-scenes reflections, the questions that originally pushed me to start this project, and why I believe it is now time for the podcast to evolve.

Deep Tech Catalyst will take a short break for a few weeks while I work on its next chapter.

In the meantime, The Scenarionist will continue at full speed with new Deep Tech Briefings, strategic deep dives, case studies, and analyses every week.
