On this week’s bite-sized Reflections episode of the Lab to Market Leadership podcast, Deep Tech Leaders CEO Chris Reichhelm explores a vital question: ‘Does the starting point of a deep tech company matter?’
Through lessons learned from previous podcast guests like Peter Collins (Permasense) and Henrik Hagemann (Puraffinity), Chris reflects on the importance of a company’s starting point—whether it's driven by technology inspiration or a market problem. How does the initial approach affect commercial validation and long-term success? And what can founders do to better position their deep tech startups for funding and product-market fit?
Tune in to learn more about the lab-to-market journey and the critical decisions that can define a startup’s trajectory.
