🔐 Deeptech Signals Premium: The $50B Encryption War I’m Betting On — China’s Mandate, MIT’s Breakthrough & 3 Startup Plays Set to Dominate 2025
Your Weekly Shortcut to Deeptech Investing — Trends, Startup Intel & Investor Playbooks for VCs & Angels in 5 Minutes or Less
High-signal startup breakdowns, IP trends, and strategy—built for smart-driven capital.
Hi investors,
It's Thursday, and today I’m diving into the high-stakes world of homomorphic encryption—where China's new data laws just created a 50B market overnight. The Pentagon is scrambling to keep up, MIT cracked the speed problem holding HE back for decades ,and startups like Zama (73M Series B) are already generating real revenue in blockchain privacy.
Here's what matters most right now:
The U.S. and China are in a silent HE arms race, with Tencent-backed Matrix Origin surging 35% in Asia
MIT's new accelerator chip slashes HE's notorious latency to just 5x plaintext speed—game over for startups using old methods
Enveil's $40M defense contracts prove the NSA is all-in on this tech
PLUS: I've built the “Homomorphic Encryption Investor Toolkit” which is your shortcut to understanding and investing in the $143M+ deeptech wave reshaping AI and data security. Inside: key signals, use cases, and startup bets smart capital is already chasing.
Why this is urgent? Early bets in companies like Zama (300% YoY growth) could 10x by 2026—but Series C rounds will triple valuations by fall.
Want to get ahead of the institutional money flooding in? This is your playbook.
Let's go. 👇

⚠️ Last Chance Alert: The MIT Chip That Just Made HE 20x Faster - This is Your Next Shot to 50x Your Portfolio
Imagine your bank crunching your financial data or your doctor analyzing your health records—without ever peeking inside. That’s homomorphic encryption (HE): a privacy trick that lets companies work with locked-up data. For years, it was too slow, crawling at 100 times slower than regular methods. But MIT’s new HE accelerator chip flips the game, making it 20 times faster and ready for action. This isn’t just tech hype—it’s your ticket to a $29 billion market by 2032, growing at a sizzling 28% annually (per Gartner). For investors, it’s time to bet on startups riding this wave in finance, healthcare, and beyond.

🚨 Urgent Investor Briefing: 3 HE Startups Quietly Winning Government Contracts (Your Last Chance to Get Pre-Revenue Pricing)
Let’s talk about a tech trend that’s quietly reshaping the future of data privacy: homomorphic encryption (HE). Imagine running complex calculations or AI models on encrypted data without ever decrypting it—like doing math on a locked safe without cracking it open. That’s HE in a nutshell, and it’s not just sci-fi anymore.

🎯 Investor Framework: "The HE Scoring Rubric" - Your Cheat Code to Spot Unicorns in the $29 Billion HE Boom
Imagine a tech that lets you analyze locked data without ever cracking it open—sounds like sci-fi, right? That’s homomorphic encryption (HE), and it’s not just a geek’s dream anymore. It’s a $29 billion market by 2032, growing at a sizzling 28% per year (Gartner, 2024). But here’s the kicker: 90% of the 60+ startups chasing this prize will crash and burn (Crunchbase, 2025). I’ve cooked up a dead-simple scoring rubric to help you sift through the chaos and pinpoint the next big winners—like Duality Technologies, which just bagged a $30 million Pfizer deal and has its sights on a $4.5 billion IPO in 2026.
