We were thrilled to host a Deep Tech Showcase Event! The action-packed day included Demos, Investment Pitches, and Thought Leadership keynote speeches from pioneering executives in Deep Tech.
Inspiring Keynote Speakers
Keynote speakers for the event included Kevin Crain, the former CTO of Intel Ignite and deep tech investor with nearly 30 years of experience. Kevin’s insights into the evolution of deep tech startups and scaling innovation was invaluable for all of the attendees. Our other keynote speaker was Catherine Breslin, founder of Kingfisher Labs and an expert in AI and leadership. Catherine shared with attendees her wealth of knowledge gained from leadership positions including Amazon Alexa on AI development, team-building, and leadership strategies for AI.
Following our standout speakers, our STAC cohort companies had the opportunity to pitch their innovative ideas and solutions to investors. This allowed for STAC design partners to hear from our amazing founders who are developing world-class products.
