We match worldwide deeptech founders with the hard-to-find VCs who invest in their niche—free.
Skip to the front of 50+ deeptech VCs' inboxes
Our guarantee to founders is that we look through every deck. And we don't just share your deck with investors: We spend hundreds of hours reading each slide to summarize why you're so interesting, then we reach out to our active VCs who are your exact investor fit .
Because of how much time we put in, Deep Checks is far more effective than cold emailing. By getting a check from one of us technical experts, we validate to other VCs that you're among the best in your space, which increases fundraising momentum. Further, getting in front of this many VCs at once pressures them to move fast to get in—and that helps you close quicker and get a higher valuation.
We have the best deeptech investors across every sector. Stop explaining the Second Law of Thermodynamics to SaaS investors—focus on the right people.

Mythos invested $1M into Heritable Ag through Deep Checks
Once I submitted to Deep Checks, my email started blowing up with DocSend deck view notifications. It felt like hundreds of them.
I booked meetings with a dozen firms and closed my round way oversubscribed within 2-3 weeks of submitting.
GreenLIB's entire $1.5M pre-seed was filled through Deep Checks
Fundraising can be such a black box. Deep Checks helped open it up for us. We didn’t just get names - we got warm, well-matched intros to investors who actually got what we were building.
That’s how we landed Undeterred Capital, Humba Ventures, and Julian Capital for our pre-seed. If you’re tired of cold outreach and endless pitch emails, this is the way to go.

FAQ
Why should I submit?
We're the most efficient way to reach deeptech investors who specialize in your niche. Over nearly three years, we've done the hard work of vetting all the legitimate investors in your space and building relationships with them. We have coverage across every sector we've encountered. Cancer drug discovery platform? Mining sensors? Battlefield robots? Nuclear reactors? Bring it on. Nothing is too niche.
Which startups should submit?
Any deeptech sector, e.g. hardware, biotech (but not pharma), space, robotics, chips, materials, and energy. Please do not submit traditional SaaS/software companies.
As long as your valuation is $25M or below, apply at any stage—pre-incorporation, pure idea, prototype, post-accelerator, revenue—no time is too early.
All geographies are welcome.
What happens after I submit?
We exist to ensure no good deck goes overlooked by deeptech VCs.
Every single deck is looked at. That's our guarantee to founders.
The best decks are identified and surfaced to the investors directly. Those investors are vetted general partners and associates at deeptech venture funds who invest at seed. Many of them are listed on this page.
Interested investors individually reach out to founders. We don't invest as a group, and there is no program to attend.
If you don't hear from investors, it means no investors were interested. Note that we don't provide feedback on your deck submission—we just route deals to the investors.
How can we get you to talk at our university?
Fill out this form to let us know you're interested.
Is there a program to attend?
There is no program and nothing to do beyond submitting your deck and/or memo. Deep Checks is simply a way to get into multiple investors' inboxes with priority, and to lessen the chance of your deck being overlooked by ensuring we take each one seriously.
Who sees my deck?
The investors on this site, their fund staff, and additional VC fund partners we're trialing for inclusion into the group. If founders tell us they have good experiences with the additional VCs, we keep them on. Our goal is to maximize the number of intros we get you—so long as it's to VCs we know and trust and who actively invest in seed-stage deeptech without wasting founders' time.
Who's the team behind Deep Checks?
Deep Checks was created by the team at Julian Capital with assistance from the deeptech community, including seed funds Undeterred (Joe Wilson) and Humba Ventures (Leo Polovets).
If you'd like to ask us questions, please email john@deepchecks.vc.
We're the most efficient way to get in front of deeptech VCs with priority—more so than emailing them—because we explain to them why your startup is so interesting after we review your deck. We're also the only way to get in front of deeptech founders who angel invest, like the CEOs of Solugen and Astranis.
