SF Coffee Club | Deep Tech: From Research to Company

​👋 Hi! We’re Dave Coen, Sruthi Sivanandan and Deirdre Clute from the Forum Ventures team. We're hosting a casual, no-pressure meetup designed to bring together Deep Tech founders & investors in the Bay Area over coffee. We'll be hosting with our friends at Boost VC - thanks to Emily Yu for joining us!

​This one is for founders who started in a lab and ended up building a company. Whether you came out of a PhD program, a research institute, or years of applied science, and you're now figuring out how to turn deep technical knowledge into something that ships and sells, this is the room for you. And for the investors who want to meet them.

​Request a spot to join and get access to the location.

​IDEAL GUESTS

​Founders focused on the early-stage (pre-Series A) B2B and deep tech landscape, who came to founding through research, academia, or applied science. Especially founders working through what commercialization actually looks like in practice. And the investors who back them.

​APPROVED GUESTS

​Application does not guarantee attendance. ​​​Admitted guests will be notified via event approval (with a calendar invite).
