About the opportunity. Are you an ambitious PhD researcher with a breakthrough research idea, emerging technology, or PhD project with the potential to become a real-world business? We are looking to collaborate with PhD researchers who want to take their research beyond academia and explore building a deep-tech startup around their expertise or idea.
This is not a traditional job; it is a founder-level collaboration where we work together to validate the idea, develop a prototype, build a business model, and bring the solution to market.

What we offer. If there is strong alignment, we will work with you to:

- Define the business and go-to-market strategy
- Build relevant industry and business connections
- Explore funding and commercialization opportunities
- Build and launch a startup together
