Chris Reichhelm, CEO of Deep Tech Leaders

In this bite-sized Reflections episode of the ‘Lab to Market Leadership’ podcast, Deep Tech Leaders CEO Chris Reichhelm dives into a fundamental question for Deep Tech founders: ‘Does the starting point of a deep tech company matter?’

Drawing on examples from guests like Peter Collins of Permasense and Henrik Hagemann of Puraffinity, Chris contrasts technology-first startups with problem-first startups and discusses how a company’s origin impacts its commercialisation strategy, funding journey, and time to market. This episode provides valuable insights for founders navigating the challenges of taking deep tech innovations from the lab to market.
