Deep Science Ventures

A London venture creator that builds science companies from first principles rather than from existing research.

Program Type
Science Venture Creator
Headquarters
London, United Kingdom
Focus
Climate, Computation, Pharma & Agriculture

Overview

Deep Science Ventures inverts the usual spinout model. Rather than commercialising research that already exists, it identifies a problem, works out what scientific approach would actually solve it, and then recruits scientists to build that company.

The result is companies designed around the solution required, rather than around whichever technology happened to emerge from a laboratory.

Program Structure

  • Problem and intervention analysis conducted before recruiting
  • Scientists join as founders-in-residence rather than with an idea
  • Focused sectors covering climate, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and computation
  • Company formation and initial funding provided
  • Access to laboratory partners and research institutions

What They Look For

  • Researchers with doctoral-level scientific depth
  • Willingness to work on a problem defined by the organisation
  • Comfort abandoning a chosen approach when evidence says to
  • Ambition to build a company rather than continue an academic career
  • Applicants from anywhere, with London-based programme work
Notable Portfolio

Companies they've backed.

Companies formed through the model work in carbon removal, novel therapeutics, agricultural inputs, and computing hardware.

The approach is unusual enough that it is now studied as an alternative to conventional university technology transfer.
