The Business of Tech

The rise of deep tech in NZ, plus Peter Beck talks Mars


Listen Later

WNT Ventures has reached ten years of taking the crunchy stuff we call deep tech and helping turn it into companies and financial returns.

With successes like Foundry Lab, Mint Innovation and Carbon Crop in its portfolio, WNT Ventures has made an indelible mark on the country's deep tech scene.

The firm's managing partner, Carl Jones, joins the podcast to look back on an industry that has grown at a rapid pace and forward at where it might head next.

Plus, rocket catching, moon diving, and Peter Beck's take on what it would mean for Rocket Lab to win a massive Nasa Mars mission deal.

The Business of Tech is powered by 2degrees for Business.
