We believe in Swiss science. In engineering excellence. in unstoppable entrepreneurs.

Our mission?

We connect ecosystem players to identify and bridge deep tech execution gaps.

Who We Are.

Pathfinders committed to strengthening the Deep Tech ecosystem and eager to connect with partners to amplify collective impact.



We are an initiative powerd by Deep Tech Switzerland Foundation.

What We Do.


Deep Tech is tremendously complex. We’re building a community that tackles the hardcore Deep Tech challenges you face every day.


We don’t pretend to have all the answers — but we know which questions are worth exploring.


We focus on substance over style. Signal over noise.

If this resonates, you’ve found your people.

How to Engage


For ecosystem partners such as founders, startup support organisations, service providers, coaches, investors or SMEs:

Join Team Deep Tech. We believe the ecosystem holds untapped potential. Our approach: listen first, solve second.

We want to understand the gaps through your eyes. Share your perspective and help us map what’s missing - then let’s build what’s needed.

There is a disease of thinking that a really great idea is 90 percent of the work. And if you just tell all these other people “here’s this great idea,” then of course they can go off and make it happen. And the problem with that is that there’s just a tremendous amount of craftsmanship in between a great idea and a great product.

Execution skills can be learned.


Our first contribution: the Deep Tech Playbook


11 chaptres, 1 terminology section, 1 framework aligning workstreams with business readiness levels.


After studying dozens of Deep Tech ventures and talking to hundreds of founders, we’ve recognised recurring patterns from ventures that survived the journey.

Why?


Turning scientific breakthroughs into thriving ventures demands more than genius – it demands execution.


Deep Tech ventures face a unique blend of complexity, capital intensity, and long timelines.


Because it’s not patents that build Switzerland’s prosperity — it’s execution.

What is deep tech?


Deep Tech is solving real-world problems with science. It’s the kind of innovation that moves the needle in areas like climate, materials, biotech, transport, health, aerospace, or AI.


If you’re working on something that could change the world, you’re probably building deep tech. And we’d love to hear about you!
