 In Episode 47 of The Generalists, we sit down with Aditya Mathur and Remi Choong — deep-tech investors at Elev8.VC who are backing companies building the future: from rockets and photonics to quantum computing and AI models trained on proprietary data.From pre-seed lab spinouts to companies launching satellites and redefining AI, they unpack how deep-tech venture capital really works — why it’s harder, slower, and far more transformative than anything in consumer tech. We explore how Singapore is positioning itself as a global deep-tech hub, why “bench-to-market” is the new startup journey, and the mindset founders need to survive a 10-year build cycle.🚀 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why Elev8.VC invests exclusively in deep-tech — from semiconductors to photonicsHow to turn research into scalable products (“bench to market”)What the Ignite program does for professors and PhDs considering spin-outsHow government co-investment and RIE funding fuel the ecosystemWhat VCs really look for in founders (hint: superpowers and doggedness)The due-diligence playbook: engaging corporate buyers before investingWhy TRL stages and productization matter more than pitch decksThe truth about valuations, AI “wrappers,” and what counts as deep techHow global investors are now looking to Singapore for deep-tech deal flowWhat deep-tech fundraising rounds look like — and how Elev8 structures them👥 HostsMichael Smith Jr.: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/smittysgp/Raz Kotler: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/razko282/⁠👤 GuestsAditya Mathur: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/aditya-mathur-0a0563/⁠Remi Choong: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/remichoong/⁠🔔 If you love founder stories, venture deep dives, and hard-won lessons from investors backing frontier technology — hit subscribe and turn on notifications!👉👉👉 Subscribe Now: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TheGeneralistsPodcast⁠🔗 Links & Resources🚀 Companies, Funds & Ecosystem PlayersElev8.VC (Deep-tech venture capital): ⁠https://www.elev8.vc/⁠ASTAR – Agency for Science, Technology and Research: ⁠https://www.a-star.edu.sg/⁠NTU – Nanyang Technological University: ⁠https://www.ntu.edu.sg/⁠SUTD – Singapore University of Technology and Design: ⁠https://www.sutd.edu.sg/⁠Startup SG Equity – Co-investment programme: ⁠https://www.startupsg.gov.sg/programmes/4898/startup-sg-equity⁠Enterprise Singapore: ⁠https://www.enterprisesg.gov.sg/⁠Temasek Holdings: ⁠https://www.temasek.com.sg/⁠Equatorial Space Systems (Rocket launch startup): ⁠https://www.equatorialspace.com/⁠Polybee (Precision pollination robotics): ⁠https://www.polybee.co/⁠Tropical Labs – Deep-tech startup (stealth)Wind Technologies – Portfolio company (private)🏛️ National Initiatives & ProgramsResearch, Innovation & Enterprise (RIE) Plan: ⁠https://www.nrf.gov.sg/programmes/research-innovation-and-enterprise-plan⁠SPRING SEEDS Capital (archived): ⁠https://www.enterprisesg.gov.sg/financial-assistance/venture-capital/spring-seeds-capital⁠📚 Books, Podcasts & Thought LeadershipSuperAging – Eric Topol: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Super-Aging-Eric-Topol/dp/1546006262⁠Lex Fridman Podcast – Janna Levin interview: ⁠https://lexfridman.com/janna-levin/⁠🧠 Frameworks & ConceptsNASA Technology Readiness Levels (TRL): ⁠https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/somd/technology-readiness-levels/⁠Joint Development Agreements (JDAs): ⁠https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_development_agreement⁠
