About this event

A breakfast panel making an argument worth hearing if you build hardware or deep tech: that German grants and non-dilutive funding are badly under-used while founders default to raising VC as early as they can. Pre-seed investors and non-dilutive funding specialists unpack the trade-off against long R&D cycles, capital-intensive prototyping and technology risk that simply does not fit a SaaS funding timeline. Five euros for non-members including a day pass, free for NLND members.
