Welcome to a new episode of the EUVC Podcast, where we bring you the people and perspectives shaping European venture.Today, we're joined by Adrian Locher, co-founder and GP at Merantix Capital, the Berlin-based AI venture capital firm and venture studio that's just planted its flag in London. Known for building and investing in AI-first companies from the ground up, Mirantix operates at the intersection of venture creation, community, and applied AI consulting — a model Adrian argues is especially well-suited to the AI age.In this conversation, we dive into the reality of the studio model, what makes it work (and not), and why Adrian believes validation with paying customers before a single line of code is written is the ultimate early-stage filter.

A billion-euro bet on Europe's most uncertain frontiers: climate, deep tech, and industrial transformation. Can government-backed funds catalyze global champions—or do they risk crowding out private capital?Dr. Elisabeth Schrey leads the Deep Tech & Climate Fonds (DTCF), a €1B investment vehicle co-financed by Germany's Future Fund and ERP Special Fund. From Munich to Berlin to Brussels, she's navigating the hardest question in European venture: how to deploy government capital without distorting markets.Together, we explore how DTCF is shaping Europe's growth-stage landscape, what it takes to invest in policy-fragile verticals like hydrogen and climate tech, and why Europe's future industrial champions may depend on funds like this.Here's what's covered:01:47 Why Elisabeth Took the Helm at DTCF (and What Gap It Fills)03:32 The Co-Investment Model: Benefits, Limits, and Founder Experience05:38 Crowding Out or Catalyzing?

This week on New Wave Weekly:

Another from my old Stream FM residency. Deep Tech house / DC10 style-e

Data centers hold computers and equipment that are the backbone of the digital age. They make possible the computational power and data storage needed to train AI models, store content, and operate the cloud-based services that many of us rely on. Some say that data centers and the innovations that come from them are key to solving huge issues facing the world right now, while others note major environmental concerns related to how they operate. However, a new report says data centers run by huge companies like Google called hyperscalers could actually be good for the environment in a key way - they could become mobilizers of clean energy and updated grids.  Read the report. Guests: Merritt Cahoon and Ian Hitchcock from the Deep Tech at Duke Initiative. This episode is part of a month-long series of stories related to tech policy from the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University.

Europa steht an einem technologischen Wendepunkt: Deep Tech gilt als Schlüssel zur Sicherung von Souveränität, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Wohlstand und als Bereich, in dem Europa nicht nur mithalten, sondern führen muss. Während Forschung, Ausbildung und Patente auf dem Kontinent eine starke Basis schaffen, bleibt die Herausforderung, Innovationen auch zu skalieren und marktfähig zu machen. In der neuen Ausgabe des Tomorrow-Podcasts mit unserem Partner Tobias Henz geht es um die Frage, wie Europa seine Stärken im Deep-Tech-Bereich strategisch nutzen kann, um im globalen Innovationswettlauf zu bestehen. Diskutiert werden zentrale Hebel für den Erfolg: die Schließung der Finanzierungslücke, die Bedeutung von Kooperationen zwischen Startups, Corporates und Forschungseinrichtungen sowie die Rolle staatlicher Rahmenbedingungen für Innovation und Investitionen.

Mohammad Khan helps deep tech founders make their complex ideas understandable and compelling. But lately, he's been facing the same challenge he solves for others: how to articulate the unique value of his own work. When AI can write copy and marketing teams can polish messaging, where does his kind of storytelling fit?In this conversation, Mohammad and David uncover the real tension beneath that question: the difference between marketing a company and marketing the founder behind it. Together, they explore how the recognition and visibility comes from the story only you can tell.Because whether you're a founder, creator, or consultant, the hardest story to tell is often your own. But that's where your unique value lives.

Europe leads the world in discovery — yet too often, its breakthroughs never become global companies.Billions in research funding turn into patents, not products.While others build empires from ideas, Europe risks becoming the world's laboratory — brilliant, but broke.That's the paradox at the heart of this conversation.In this episode, Karl Nehammer, Vice-President of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and former Chancellor of Austria, joins Christian Soschner live at BIO-Europe 2025 to discuss how Europe can turn its world-class science into world-class companies.He shares how leadership forged in crisis can rebuild confidence, competitiveness, and growth — and why every crisis hides an opportunity to start thinking differently.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we unpack the biggest stories from India's startup and tech world. ChrysCapital closes a record $2.2 billion fund, while MoEngage secures $100 million to scale its AI marketing agents, Zepto's meat business head exits amid leadership churn, and NVIDIA and Qualcomm Ventures back India's Deep Tech Alliance. Plus, Mindgrove puts India's silicon dream on the map.

Nach einer kurzen Herbstpause sprechen Alois und Oliver darüber, wie echte Deep-Tech-Ökosysteme auf Stadtebene entstehen – jenseits von Buzzwords. Sie ordnen ein, was Deep Tech wirklich bedeutet, wo die Grenze zu Commodity-Technologien verläuft und weshalb der Begriff aktuell oft inflationär verwendet wird. Ausgehend von Deutschlands neuer Hightech-Agenda (mit Schwerpunkten wie KI, Quantencomputing und Biotechnologie) diskutieren sie, wie nationale Programme lokale Cluster beeinflussen und warum Orte mit starker Forschungs- und Infrastrukturbasis – etwa DESY und die Science City in Hamburg – als Anker dienen.Die Episode zeigt, wie Konvergenz zwischen Technologien wie KI, Quanten- und Neuromorphik-Computing, Robotik oder XR Tempo aufnimmt und welche Rolle „universelle Schnittstellen“ wie große Sprachmodelle dabei spielen. Zugleich machen die beiden deutlich, dass Grundlagenforschung geschützte Domänen braucht, während Reallabore und Sandboxes die Brücke in die Anwendung schlagen. An konkreten Beispielen wird sichtbar, weshalb kurze Wege, stabile Rahmenbedingungen, verlässliche Testflächen und klar profilierte Stadt-Stärken den Unterschied zwischen Theorie und Transfer ausmachen.Ein zentrales Motiv der Folge ist der „Übersetzer“: Personen und Formate, die Forschung, Industrie und – oft als Ankerkunden – den Staat zielgerichtet zusammenbringen. Statt Event-Inflation braucht es kuratierte Räume, in denen Themen kurz vor der Marktreife fokussiert beschleunigt werden. Genau hier setzt der Deep Tech Campus Circle an: als bewusst exklusiver Ort, an dem Köpfe, Kapital und konkrete Use Cases aufeinandertreffen, um aus Keimlingen skalierbare Innovationen zu machen.Am Ende bleibt die klare These: Deep Tech entsteht, wenn tiefe Expertise, Geduld und ein klug orchestriertes Ökosystem zusammenwirken. Wer verstehen will, wie Städte vom Strategiepapier zur sichtbaren Wertschöpfung kommen, bekommt in dieser Folge eine kompakte, praxisnahe Landkarte – von der Saat in der Grundlagenforschung bis zur Ernte im Markt.

Drawing from opposite industries - one building beneath the ocean, the other inside buildings. They reveal how timing, product maturity, and customer education shape growth models.They discuss why hybrid models often win in industrial tech, how to balance education with revenue, and what metrics truly matter beyond vanity KPIs. The conversation also dives into managing long sales cycles, using customer feedback loops to guide product evolution, and the ultimate truth every founder learns: great sales can't save a bad product.The cover portrait was edited by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Smartportrait. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Don't forget to give us a follow on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠so you can always stay up to date with our latest initiatives.

In this episode, we're joined by serial entrepreneur and investor Terry Hsiao to explore the defining shifts that have shaped Silicon Valley from 2000 to 2025—from the dot-com boom and bust, through the rise of mobile and cloud, to today's AI-driven transformation and the restructuring of venture models. Terry's journey spans from engineer to serial founder, investor, and educator, bridging startup communities across the U.S. and Taiwan. He reflects on how each wave—from the internet era's obsession with “eyeballs,” to the mobile revolution powered by the iPhone and AWS, to the post-COVID reinvention of venture—has redefined what it means to build and invest. Beyond taking a company public, Terry now mentors founders and investors on both sides of the Pacific, offering insights on what it takes to thrive in the decade ahead. Powered by Firstory Hosting

Adam Draper, Founder and Managing Director at Boost VC, shares stories of his family's pivotal role in shaping Silicon Valley, from his grandfather's pioneering work at Sutter Hill Ventures to his father's global expansion of Draper Associates. Building on that legacy, Adam created Boost VC to back founders tackling endeavors of consequence — companies so bold they're often dismissed as “too risky” by traditional investors. He explains how pre-seed investing differs from later-stage venture capital and why he loves supporting technically ambitious founders in frontier industries, crypto, space, and deep tech. He also reflects on how curiosity, not consensus, has guided some of Boost VC's biggest wins. Adam offers candid insights on founder evaluation, the power of weirdness, and how taking risks can often lead to the safest path to freedom.In this episode, you'll learn:[01:00] The Draper legacy: how one family helped shape venture capital[05:45] From steel to startups: the early days of Silicon Valley[10:45] Adam's first startup and lessons from failure[13:30] Why Boost VC bets on “endeavors of consequence”[16:00] How Adam thinks about risk, luck, and curiosity in investing[18:30] The weird founder advantage: high agency and obsession as signals[22:45] How Adam evaluates founders beyond the pitch deck[27:00] Rethinking risk: why the boldest path can be the safestThe nonprofit Adam supports: The Ocean CleanupAbout Adam DraperAdam Draper is the Founder and Managing Director of Boost VC, a pre-seed venture firm in Silicon Valley that invests in founders building the future—across crypto, space, deep tech, and frontier science.

What if the next generation of computing was not something you held or wore, but something you looked through? In this special episode recorded live from GITEX Global in Dubai, I speak with Roman Axelrod, founder of EXPANCEO, a deep tech company creating AI-powered smart contact lenses designed to merge augmented reality, biosensing, and what he calls digital superpowers. Roman explains how his company moved from an ambitious idea to becoming the first deep tech unicorn in the Gulf region, now valued at more than 1.3 billion dollars. Over the past five years, his team of physicists and engineers in Dubai has built more than fifteen prototypes and secured a wide range of patents, all aimed at developing what they see as the ultimate interface for AI-driven computing. These lenses can display digital images, measure biological signals such as glucose and intraocular pressure, and may one day eliminate the need for screens altogether. He reflects on the early days of disbelief, when even friends told him to give up, and how perseverance became the deciding factor. For Roman, success meant proving that deep tech innovation is possible outside Silicon Valley. He shares how Dubai's ecosystem, low taxation, and access to world-class talent helped make that vision real. His story offers practical insight for founders who are told their ideas are impossible until they can show a working prototype. We also explore what this means for the future of human-computer interaction. Roman believes these lenses will help us communicate directly with intelligent systems, turning science fiction into everyday life. His message to entrepreneurs is simple: be stubborn, stay curious, and keep building. Could AI contact lenses redefine computing itself? Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts.
