Alon Leibovich, Managing Director Intel Ignite, entrepreneur, founder, and is also organizational psychologist by training, though he never practiced clinically. This background shaped how he navigated the turmoil when he learned via social media that Facebook was suing his company. "It felt like someone had punched you in the stomach," he recounts. Alon candidly shares grappling with the Imposter Syndrome through that time, doubting himself as both a person and manager, although at the end, a pivotal and very important realization was: "There is more to us than just our business."

An ode 📖to the Deeptech Pioneers 🔮 The #vc narrative these days seems to be all centered around the ‘good bye 👋 good times’ 1. *doom and gloom* -> bear market 2. * Prepare to adjust your valuations down* 3. *Secondaries lots of secondaries* While data points to market being considerately down beyond seed, great #deeptech companies are being built and will continue to get built. In what has often been considered to be #slowtech lies an incredible opportunity for those entrepreneurs building to solve hard problems read from a different script than the traditional Silicon Valley Manifesto - < go fast and break things >. Let these 5 things work for your #DeepTech Voyage: 1. Planet & Humanity Positive 🌍 : The future belongs to those who not only innovate but also heal. DeepTech entrepreneurs focused on creating category-defining companies with positive societal and environmental impact are set to dominate. As global sentiment – corporate, governmental, and consumer – shifts towards sustaining our planet and bettering human lives, it translates to increased public grants. This influx aids in reducing technological risks and propels forward momentum. I place my bet on Europe 🇪🇺 at large including 🇬🇧 UK and Switzerland 🇨🇭 2. Tech Advantage & IP Straregy 🧪 : Science has always been the cornerstone of progress. The countless hours spent by PhDs and dedicated researchers in labs and libraries are no longer confined to academic theses. Brilliant minds now have the platform to birth companies that transform their intricate research into tangible products, impacting the wider populace. 3. Team Advantage🚀: DeepTech is not a solitary journey. With the support of specialized DeepTech funds and accelerators, entrepreneurs can rally a team of passionate evangelists around them. The collective synergy of such a team ensures that the journey of innovation isn’t just about a product or a company, but a mission greater than oneself. By harnessing this combined energy, market momentum becomes not just achievable, but inevitable. 4. Embrace the Slow Burn 🔥 but don’t get sucked by it: The DeepTech space often diverges from the “Growth hacking” mantra as a way to putting things in front of customers. When you are at the frontier however, you’ll need to be ok ‘breaking things in the lab’ and refining with POCs all the way to commercially viable products. It takes time, science & art to get it right. The opposite is also true: being used to be in the lab and afraid to get market feedback. 5. Charting the Future ✨: Economic downturns are less about decline and more about evolution. In these recalibrated conditions, rapid growth models recede, giving way to sustainable, long-term value creation. The future is being written by those who focus on large scale, impactful problems that promise revolutionary solutions. #largescale #future #frontier #deeptech #startups #science #research #computationalbiology #quantum #hardware #energy #

We launched Lume (YC W23) on Hacker News and hit the front page! 🟠 Here are some surprising outcomes: For those new to it, Hacker News is a top forum for tech enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and investors. 🤯 “Wait, did I see your product on Hacker News?”: After our Hacker News feature, I've been frequently asked this during sales calls, even after 1 month. This not only serves as a great conversation starter but also strengthens relationships. 🛜 Network Effects: Users from Hacker News referred us across their companies, showcasing the community's support and eagerness to share impactful tech. 🚀 Valuable Feedback: This is less surprising, but so important. As expected from Hacker News, the community's challenging yet constructive feedback was instrumental in refining our technology. Curious?
