Your Weekly Shortcut to Deeptech Investing—Exclusive Trends & Startup Reports for VCs & Angels in Just 5 Minutes Invest Deeptech

For years, IPOs have been the ultimate goal for deeptech startups, but that’s no longer the case. In 2025, the biggest deeptech exits are happening behind closed doors—through acquisitions, not the stock market.

Big corporations, private equity firms, and defense contractors are snapping up AI, energy storage, and advanced materials startups before they ever go public. These companies don’t want to wait for deeptech firms to scale. Instead, they’re buying innovation early to stay ahead of the competition.

For investors, this means one thing: tracking acquisitions is now just as important as following funding rounds. Smart investors who spot M&A signals before deals go public stand to make the biggest gains.
