Why this matters for deep tech: For capital-intensive deep tech the “when to raise” decision is existential: raise too early against unproven hardware or physics risk and capital destroys discipline; too late and the window closes. Riva's rules matter most where the technology is hard.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why VC is not validation
- When venture capital creates value versus destroys discipline
- Capital efficiency as the core founder metric
- Treating a raise as a means, not a milestone
- Simone Riva (Partech) on European funding conditions
