Venloka understands the market challenges for Deep Tech start-ups in India and globally. It needs heavier R&D and a longer time for product market fit and scale-up. Its market adoption is slower and required to demonstrate the value and reliability of the innovations to potential investors and customers. The Deep Tech companies require faster and more steady talent acquisition, manageable hiring costs, and retention capabilities. Hence, there is a pertinent need for access to patient and long-term funding and investors' understanding of Deep Tech play in the market. These start-ups are much higher in capital intensity and need consistent funding to stay the course till they mature in the market.
