Deep tech accelerators
Deep tech startups (hardware, robotics, semiconductors, and science-based companies) need patient capital and specialist support that general programs rarely offer. Deep-tech accelerators are built for exactly that. SOSV runs the archetypes: HAX for hardware and IndieBio for biology, both with real lab and workshop infrastructure. University-anchored options (Accelerate Cambridge, Imperial’s White City Incubator) and science-first models like Deep Science Ventures fill out the lane.
Below are the deep-tech accelerators we track. Compare the terms, or sign up free for a shortlist matched to your startup.
