Picking Deep-Tech Winners Where Risk Capital Hesitates

An investment fund who backs women-led AI, biotech, and advanced-materials start-ups in emerging markets—domains where pre-seed diligence is notoriously fuzzy. Our evaluators delivered  (1) technical feasibility scoring, (2) societal-benefit delta, and (3) analysis of a founder resilience index. The model surfaced breakthrough projects—from carbon-negative concrete to low-cost genomic assays—guiding some million in grants toward the highest-impact quartile.

Why it matters – disciplined impact scoring doesn’t slow innovation; it accelerates capital toward the right bets.
