We are a DACH-based angel syndicate writing early-stage checks for founders tackling challenging deep tech problems at the frontier of what is computationally and physically possible.
Deep tech requires deep diligence. Because our background spans pure physics, production machine learning at FAANG, and biological AI foundation models at a leading TechBio scaleup, we evaluate ground truth. We provide institutional VCs with the technical signaling required to back complex frontier architectures.
Portfolio Value-Add
Ground Truth Over Pattern Matching
First-Principles Technical Sparring
Direct, 1:1 architectural reviews of your core loss functions, model constraints, physics inputs, or biological data pipelines—before you commit compute or lab resources.
Research-to-Production Navigation
A practical roadmap for translating early academic code into resilient, production-grade infrastructure, drawing on scaling practices from FAANG and high-growth TechBio environments.
Technical Validation & Signaling
A thorough technical de-risking process that gives institutional lead VCs and generalist funds the conviction to price and back your round.
Execution & Talent Intelligence
Off-the-record guidance on structuring high-performing engineering teams, navigating research-to-engineering dynamics, and evaluating critical early technical hires in the DACH ecosystem.

Capital is necessary but not sufficient. We are actively expanding the syndicate, and we prioritize members who bring genuine technical depth, operational scars, or domain-specific ground truth—not just check size.
If you have a strong technical, research, or operating background and can add real signal to founder diligence—in physics-informed ML, computational biology, robotics, or scaled ML infrastructure, or an adjacent frontier-tech domain—we want to talk. Members are expected to contribute value-add, not just capital.
