Discover science with potential and help build deep tech ventures from KTH
KTH Innovation and KTH Ventures are running Pioneer- a deep tech program where 10-12 research teams develop their science-based innovations across several industries such as Life Science Materials Quantum Cleantech AI and more. The Program leverages KTH Innovations nearly 20 years of experience in supporting deep tech innovation.
How do You come in We are looking for external Venture Builders to join the program and support the participating research teams in building ventures out of their research/technologies. We foresee that you will interact with several teams and explore different technologies but ultimately match with a team where you can take on the role as commercial driver and become co-founder (e.g. CEO Project Leader CXO). You and the other Program participants will be supported by KTH Innovation with expertise in business development IP legal funding and team development and be able to leverage our services and networks (for example industry investors and mentors) towards commercialization.
What youll do
As a Venture Builder in the program you will be playing a crucial part in identifying and achieving key milestones in taking research towards commercialization. You will perform activities such as market validation engaging with industry and exploring opportunities for financing business development and technology development.
Throughout the Program you will engage and collaborate with other Venture Builders and research teams in monthly onsite Program activities in Stockholm such as workshops training sessions and development sprints.
We expect you to be able to commit part-time (minimum 20%) pro-bono during at least 6-12 months. Certain activities such as conducting market research can be compensated via consultancy assignments but your main incentive should be to establish a venture that you could become co-founder and co-owner of. This is not a Program or opportunity if you are solely looking for consultancy investment opportunities or pure advisory roles.
Your unique opportunity A learning journey that can generate transformative impact through innovation
