In February of 2024 (7 months ago), I wrote this blog post explaining our goal of getting more Deep Tech companies started… and it worked. Founders Start Capital deal: $50k for 2.5% IT SOLD LIKE HOT CAKES!!!!! Our goal was to invest in one “FOUNDERS START” team a month: After seven months of the experiment we have invested in 18 startups. Here are some examples of teams we invested in to get going: - A company that uses Dogs to diagnose cancer - A humanoid robotics startup - A company filtering mutations out of sperm - A professional robotics league - A company enabling the uploading of consciousness to a hard drive These were all teams who were at the earliest iterations of their concept and wanted a capital partner to help them in network and momentum. We are incredibly proud of the impact this program has made and wish to accelerate it. I hope that we can make 20 more FOUNDERS START investments before the end of the year.
