🎙️ Episode 7 is live! This time we sit down with Kurt Buseck of Rex Capital to unpack what really drives success — and exits — in deep tech.
If you’re building or backing a deep tech venture, this episode is packed with hard-won insights on what makes companies fundable and exit-ready.
What do we cover?
1. Execution and IP drive valuation. Innovation isn’t enough. Investors look for working products, a clear path to commercialization, and strong patent or trade secret protection that creates negotiation leverage.
2. Exit planning starts on day one. The best founders identify potential acquirers early. A clear line of sight to liquidity shapes decisions on team, product, and IP strategy.
🎧 Tune in for a candid look at how to position deep tech companies for both growth and successful exits.
