Deep Science Ventures departs from the traditional deep-tech investment model by starting with societal problems rather than existing technologies, aiming to build companies from the ground up with targeted solutions. Instead of backing university spinouts, the firm analyzes major challenges, such as crop heat stress, to identify gaps in current solutions and then creates ventures like Lilliput to address these gaps with novel approaches. The process involves thorough problem deconstruction, interdisciplinary knowledge gathering, and building intellectual property in-house, emphasizing first-principles thinking over pre-existing assumptions. This method is presented as a more efficient and impactful way to scale deep-tech venture creation and address pressing global issues.
