Deep-Tech Co-Founder Matching Night

Wednesday, May 20, 2026
6:30 PM - 10:30 PM CET
Hosted by Antler VC Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute xG-Incubator

Join us for a curated evening during Berlin's Deep Tech Week, bringing together deep tech founders and teams looking for a co-founder and exceptional operators ready to start building.

We're hosting two groups:

  • Deep tech and research teams actively searching for a co-founder
  • Senior commercial and technical operators preparing to make the jump into entrepreneurship

Format

Doors open at 18:30 with welcome drinks. The program starts sharp at 19:00 with founder intros and a founder talk + Q&A with Fran Infante Aguirre, CTO of Voltrac - building autonomous, all-electric ground vehicles for agriculture and frontline logistics (raised $10M+ to date), followed by open networking with food and drinks until 22:30.

Please arrive on time - the intros are the core of the evening and we'll be starting promptly.

Application-based

This is a vetted event. Hit "Request to Join" and we'll review applications on a rolling basis.

Who we're looking for

  • Active deep tech founders and teams looking for a co-founder
  • Researchers, technical operators, and commercial profiles seriously preparing to start something - clear intent, near-term readiness, and willing to commit a few hours a week to a test collaboration if you find a strong match
  • Domain depth across deep tech: AI and GenAI, robotics, quantum, photonics, imaging and video, AR/VR, sensor tech, biometrics, wireless and 5G/6G, climate and energy, biotech, advanced manufacturing, and adjacent fields
