Prosus and Accel pick 6 deep tech startups for LeapTech
Accel and Prosus just kicked off their new LeapTech program, picking six standout startups from more than 2,000 applicants.
These teams are tackling big challenges in space, climate, health care, and infrastructure: think ambitious science projects that take time (and serious funding) to build.
LeapTech's mission is to help founders tackle tough challenges
LeapTech isn't just about money. The chosen founders get mentorship and hands-on support from Prosus, along with backing from Accel, helping them handle the tough road of building deep tech companies.
As Pratik Agarwal from Accel put it, the goal is to spark real scientific breakthroughs and maybe even create whole new industries.
This year's lineup includes Praan, QOSMIC, Dognosis, Ethereal Exploration Guild, Ferra, and a stealthy startup working on brain-computer interfaces.
