Empowering the Future of Deeptech: Conception X Angel Syndicate Raises $40K to Fuel the Next Generation of Venture Scientists

Conception X is excited to announce that we have successfully raised $40,000 in our latest funding round, marking an important milestone in our journey to empower the next generation of venture scientists. At Conception X, we pride ourselves on discovering and nurturing the innovative minds behind future deeptech startups. Our unique approach transforms PhD students into visionary founders by merging cutting-edge research with entrepreneurial drive, a duality we proudly encapsulate in the term “Venture Scientist.” This new influx of capital will be strategically deployed to expand our 9-month intensive programme, which is designed to equip aspiring deeptech entrepreneurs with the tools, mentorship, and industry connections essential for turning academic research into impactful ventures. The funds will enable us to enhance our personalised coaching services by incorporating additional industry experts, and accelerate our efforts in providing participants early access to valuable resources such as innovation grants, awards, and venture funding opportunities. Moreover, this round of funding will further refine our platform to support deeptech founders not only in leveraging their proprietary research while still at university, but also in navigating the complexities of tech entrepreneurship. With a focus on long-term impact, our aim is to continue to bridge the gap between academic breakthroughs and commercial success, ensuring that groundbreaking research can be transformed into sustainable, market-ready solutions. We are deeply grateful for the support from our investor partners, whose belief in our mission is instrumental in driving the success of our deeptech community. This funding marks the beginning of a new chapter as we scale our operations to ignite innovation and foster entrepreneurial spirit across the scientific landscape.
