Where Scientists and Engineers come together to build ventures that matter.
Deep Science Ventures is doing something you may have never heard of... We are offering final year PhD students, graduates, and post-doctoral researchers to showcase their deep domain expertise and join building the next generation high tech solutions in biotech, healthcare, agriculture, sustainable energy - you name it.
We look for scientific and engineering expertise in combination with enormous passion to solve major challenges to join a 6-month fully funded venture building program.
Brainstorm and explore technical and commercial viability of initial ideas with industry experts and potential co-founders, while earning basic wage.
If after 3 months you have found the right co-founder(s) and identified an exciting and viable project we invest £30,000 in to a new company and continue to support your growth over the next year.
If you don't find the right idea you may re-do the programme, join other teams, join our industry partners or move back in to academia with far greater insight.
