Deep-tech startups with a patent tagged this technology
A sample of matched deep-tech startups - Startup counts are name-matched candidates, not ownership records - see methodology. Methodology
Deep-tech basis: site-backed (own website fetched and read), IP-backed (patent or design filed in its own name), web-backed (described elsewhere on the open web), registry only (registry description alone). How this is decided
