Deeptech Edge Weekly
📅 Tuesday, June 3, 2025 | Deep dives for today’s smart investors.
Your 3-minute shortcut to uncover $1B deeptech bets, before they go mainstream.
Hey Investors,
Over 500 of you are already riding the deeptech wave with me, and I’m excited to help you stay ahead. This week, I’m diving into the U.S.-EU deeptech boom, fueled by billions from DARPA, Horizon Europe, and NATO. Key areas like AI biodefense, quantum sensing, and bioengineered materials are looking for major exits by 2027. I’ve discovered a pre-seed AI biodefense startup that VCs are overlooking, and I’m revealing its 10x potential by 2027.

🔜“Deeptech Investor Club” Coming Soon!
I’ll soon be opening my WhatsApp Investor Club for investors and founders looking to connect and invest in deeptech. I’ll be offering weekly hot deals (curated Seed/Series A startups with 6-12 month exit potential), monthly dossiers, webinars, and community interaction. DM me if you’d like to join!
🔥 My Market Signal: AI That Stops Pandemics in Their Tracks
Why I care: DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office invested ~$50M in 2024 for AI biosurveillance, while Horizon Europe allocated ~€100M for health tech, including pathogen detection.
Profit hook: I’m tracking a pre-seed startup (name in my paid tier) with U.S. and EU pilots, valued at ~$100M, invisible to most investors.
What I recommend:
Monitor DARPA’s 2025 BTO budget and EU’s Health Cluster grants.
Search USPTO and EPO for “AI pathogen detection” (e.g., EP4261846).

🚀 My Startup Spotlight: Quantum Sensors Redefining Defense
Who I’m watching: U.K.’s Oxford Quantum Circuits develops quantum sensors for stealth aircraft detection, with U.S. and EU defense interest.
Why I’m excited:
Backed by ~£20M from UK Ministry of Defense and NATO’s DIANA program.
Patents: Search “quantum sensing” (e.g., EPO EP3985678).
Risks: Export controls might limit growth, but NATO allies are still interested.
My advice: Ask defense contacts about U.S.-EU quantum trials in 2025. My paid tier shares the investor memo. [—> Upgrade Here]
💡 My Investor Insight: Bioengineered Materials Revolution
The problem: Infrastructure costs drain ~$250B/year in the U.S. and ~€200B in the EU.
The solution: I’m tracking U.S. startup BioMason and Dutch startup Basilisk, scaling bacteria-based, self-healing concrete.
Dealflow:
Pilots: U.S. highways and EU infrastructure projects.
Patents: Search “microbial concrete” (e.g., EP3325601).
📌 My Trend Digest: 5 Under-the-Radar Opportunities
AI Reservoir Mapping: U.S. startups specializing in AI-driven reservoir mapping are raising millions in seed funding, with the potential to boost oil recovery by 20%. These AI technologies are revolutionizing how oil reserves are managed, improving extraction efficiency and offering high return potential for investors in the energy sector.
Veterinary mRNA: The pet vaccine market is rapidly growing, and EU innovators are capitalizing on this trend. Recently, a startup focused on veterinary mRNA technology raised €5M in early funding to develop cutting-edge vaccines for pets. With the growing demand for innovative animal health solutions, this market is expected to continue its upward trajectory.
Orbital Debris Insurance: As the need for satellite protection grows, U.S.-EU insurers are securing significant investments. Recently, companies focused on orbital debris insurance raised $50M in funding to provide satellite protection from space debris, positioning themselves as key players in the expanding space security market.
AI Agriculture: AI is making a big impact in agriculture, with Dutch startups raising €46M in funding for projects focused on improving crop yields. These AI pilots promise up to 15% higher crop yields, providing significant potential in the agtech space, especially as the demand for food security and sustainable farming grows.
CO2 Capture: German startups focused on CO2 capture technologies have raised €4.6M in seed capital. These innovations are aimed at reducing carbon emissions in industrial processes, offering a vital solution in the fight against climate change. Investors have an opportunity to support clean tech solutions that have a long-term environmental and financial payoff.
