FCF DeepTech

We seek to find the right funding partner to each individual situation capitalizing on our unique investor network

Strategic financing solutions

We define “DeepTech” as the sector of companies whose product or service offering is based on substantial scientific advances and high-tech engineering that creates real technological innovation and patents / IP. Typical verticals include:

  • Advanced Manufacturing / 3D Printing
  • Advanced Components
  • AgrarTech
  • Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
  • Cleantech & New Energy
  • Cybersecurity
  • Material Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Internet of Things / Industry 4.0
  • New Mobility (E-mobility, Autonomous cars)
  • Robotics & Drones
  • Semiconductors
  • Software / SaaS
  • Virtual & Augmented Reality

We understand the challenges these companies often face – substantial R&D expenses, long-term oriented business plan, often hardware related business models, low visibility, unfashionable business models, lacking investor interest – and support founders and managers to find the strategic financing solutions they need to achieve their business and technology vision. 

WHAT WE DO

FCF develops bespoke financing strategies and advises its clients during the entire fund raising process. We primarily focus on the following financing types with an extensive network to leading tech investors in Europe, USA and Asia as well as selected family offices and strategic investors:

"We don’t think in terms of “A-B-C round”, “early stage / late stage”, “XaaS-only / platform-only”, “Exit in 3 years” but seek to find the right funding partner to each individual situation capitalizing on our unique investor network in the venture capital, strategic investor and family office / HNI space."

DEEPTECH RESEARCH SERIES

The “FCF DeepTech Series” is a quarterly series of reports tracking European venture capital funding trends within four main DeepTech verticals. We highlight deal counts, volumes, investor interests, subsector trends, geographic hotspots, IPO activity as well as M&A / trade sale activity.
Each quarter one of the four verticals – Cleantech, Advanced Manufacturing, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Robotics – is examined individually.

Each report is a quick reference for investors, corporates and professionals for the funding trends within the respective vertical.
