How to approach
Framing and angles for outreach
Pitch framing
Lead with a technically ambitious but commercially concrete deeptech thesis, especially where AI, hardware or industrial systems touch the physical world. The strongest pitch should show why the technology is hard, why now is the right time, and how the company can become a large practical platform rather than a narrow technical project.
Personalization hooks
- 1Reference portfolio patterns around Applied Intuition, Saildrone, Desktop Metal, Nominal or Nozomi Networks for physical-world technology.
- 2For industrial AI, connect the pitch to AI touching operations, infrastructure, autonomy or manufacturing.
