Dear Friends,
This week, the deep tech capital engine roared ahead, with over 30 deals signaling continued investor conviction in high-barrier, high-impact technologies.
From cultivated meat to quantum sensing, laser fusion to next-gen micromobility, capital is pouring into frontier companies aiming to reshape not just industries—but civilization-scale systems.
A key theme?
The diversification of hard tech bets. Unlike last week’s AI-heavy surge, this round of funding saw a more balanced spread across verticals. Climate, space, mobility, and life sciences all commanded serious investor attention, reflecting a broader appetite for transformative innovation.
Among the standout rounds: Marvel Fusion secured €113M in Germany to accelerate its commercial fusion prototype, while Sateliot closed a €70M Series B to build a 5G-connected satellite constellation. Both plays are capital-intensive and aimed at reshaping long-term infrastructure.
At the earlier end of the spectrum, quantum sensing spinout DeteQt, emerging from the University of Sydney, raised a modest $750K—highlighting continued investor interest in foundational technologies, even at the seed stage.
