Hello Tomorrow
Istanbul, Türkiye | October 16, 2026
Moderated “Why Deep Tech Investment Is No Longer an Exotic Niche Asset Class.” panel at Hello Tomorrow hosting Bill Liao (SOSV), Dave Grimm (AlbionVC) and Gizem Yagiz (212 NexT).
Four questions shaped the conversation:
– Why now? What has made deep tech investable after years of being seen as too slow and capital-intensive?
– Are investors pricing technical risk better, or simply accepting more of it?
– What needs to change for deep tech to move from a specialist allocation to a core portfolio position?
– What still holds capital back: exits, fund structures, expertise or commercialisation risk?
