Great Tech Idea. Now What? Inside a Deep-Tech Pitch Night

From breakthrough tech to startup reality

 

Great ideas are only the beginning.

 

This episode explores what happens next - how deeptech founders try to turn scientific breakthroughs into real companies.

 

We attended a pitch night at London Business School where startups were presenting their ideas to investors. Among them were Nanoloom, developing sustainable graphene-based fibres for textiles, and Auralytica, building chemical sensors that can detect food spoilage.

 

But raising money isn’t easy. Research shows female founders still receive only around 2% of venture capital funding - despite strong evidence that women led businesses often perform as well as or better than male-led ones.So how do you get investors to believe in your idea?

 

The programme is presented by Ania Lichtarowicz.
