What can so-called lean startups learn from the world of deep tech startups? Going from Germany to New Zealand to China and from corporate to startup, even writing a sci-fi novel in between, David Hartmann built Helio Additive, a successful deep tech startup in additive manufacturing. Joining us at our 2024 Winter Growth Summit, David shared his learnings with our founders. 1. Get comfortable without market validation: The foundation of deep tech is science, which can completely occupy a deep tech startup for years at the start. Stay confident, adhere to first principles, and believe you know the industry well enough that you are solving a real problem.   2. Unlock government help: VC conversations can be tough if the investor doesn’t understand the deep tech product cycle, so David was always prepared to bootstrap. Government programs helped Helio early on with office space and financial support, and they can be invaluable especially during a startup’s early stages. 3. Stay flexible and patient when hiring: Helio was able to weather disruptions like COVID and hire the right skills at the right time by having a flexible team of direct employees, university collaborators, and freelancers. David recommends thinking about the long game and how startups will go down many wrong paths before finding the right one, so hire patiently. Find a way to achieve your goals without rapid hiring. Thank you, David Hartmann, for sharing your insights! #FromCorporateToFounder #Hardware #Software #3DPrinting #DeepTech #Entrepreneurship #Growth #StartUp David Hartmann Kenneth Cheung Asoka Wotulo TR Harrington William Bao Bean Oscar Ramos Helio Additive

Life Science and Biotech startups face many challenges, one being scalability. While creating a new technology or product is feasible, scaling production can prove extremely difficult. Often, expenses required for upscaling prohibit young startups with limited funding. The rise of incubators have offered a recourse for those seeking entrance into this high-tech, competitive field. Incubators continue to grow, providing a combination of consultative and financial services to support product development. And, at the foundation of every new lab startup is a lab workstation that holds the equipment necessary to complete scientific methods. This is where the magic happens. The testing, mixing and analyzing of chemicals to the digestion of samples. The Workplace Incubator program simplifies the startup journey. Our workstations are designed with flexibility, allowing users to easily adapt their workspace to fit their specific needs. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and ergonomic features, our lab workstations foster a productive and comfortable environment. We have designed lab workstations for some of the most innovative clients around the nation. Don't just take our word for it.

On the bright side, DC is #12 globally -- only Silicon Valley, NY, LA, and Boston beat out the DMV in the US. There is so much momentum in DC right now, but there are a couple things holding us back from moving even farther up the ranks. 1: DC is a really hard place for an early stage company to get off the ground. MD and VA (and PA, and DE, etc.) provide so many more resources and opportunities for early stage companies, and the reality is, growth stage companies will have to look outside of the region to raise larger rounds. At the very least, DC needs to follow MD and VA's lead to make this whole region an advantageous launching ground for the next groundbreaking companies. 2: "The DMV" just does not do this ecosystem justice. We need a rebrand! Starting with a catchy new name. Any thoughts?
