📣 The Deep Tech Hardware Napkin is out! 🤖 💸 Founders and investors alike wonder what it takes to build a successful hardware company. Until now! Inspired by Point Nine 's famous SaaS Napkin (shoutout to Christoph Janz), the Deep Tech Hardware Napkin provides a clear, data-driven guide to the milestones for each stage, from Pre-Seed to Series B. Read the full report here: bit.ly/3zMnhjm We have collected and analyzed over 100 data points on fundraising rounds from more than 30 VCs across Europe, and the Napkin is its essence. A heartfelt thanks to all the VCs who contributed the data and to Dealroom.co, which provided us with data to cross-check our findings!

This is an extremely useful report for deep tech startup founders. For example, understanding what valuation cap you should focus on in the early stages is essential. In my experience, it is one of the most discussable points. Thank you, First Momentum Ventures, for a good job!

Congratulations and many thanks for this work First Momentum Ventures, Dr. Maximilian Ochs, David Meiborg, Lena Späth, Reinhardt Karpenko ! Tach2yone GmbH as a Growth Equity investor in the Green Energy Transition and related areas is looking to invest in more mature Deep Tech companies (Series B and later). One of our most important investment criterion is (positive) EBITDA: we believe, that in industries with high CapEx, EBITDA is useful because it eliminates the distortions caused by significant depreciation and amortization expenses, providing a clearer view of operational profitability. Thus, EBITDA is an essential tool for us to assess a company’s core profitability and financial health. First Momentum Ventures and community: what are your thoughts on this approach and would you consider to take also EBITDA into your napkin for later stage companies?

Deep Tech Hardware Seed raise of $5M against $25 Valuation with lab demonstration and before a Lab Proof of Concept (and requiring up to $3M in pre-seed funding). All before revenue. Try doing a PoC with zero funding and still delivering 200% better performance over the industry's best data switch. We'll get there - Deep Tech transforming Consumers First
