01

Get in touch

Tell us your goals — recruitment, fundraising, deal flow, thought leadership. We'll come back with options.

02

Scope the fit

Not templated "gold/silver/bronze" — tiers are a starting point, and we tailor the activation to your goals and budget.

03

Build together

Co-design the activation: headline event, cocktail reception, on-stage presence, digital outreach, whatever mix fits.

04

Show up & measure

We support the execution across the week and close the loop on what worked — attendance, reach, engagement.

SECTION 06 COMMON QUESTIONS

Sponsor questions.

What cities does Deep Tech Week take place in? +
Deep Tech Week runs in multiple cities globally. Past editions include San Francisco and New York City, with upcoming editions expanding to more cities worldwide. Each city edition is a week-long series of events.
Can I sponsor a single city or the full series? +
Both options are available. You can sponsor an individual city edition or become a series-wide sponsor with visibility across all Deep Tech Week events globally. Series-wide packages offer the best value and broadest reach.
Can I host my own event as part of the sponsorship? +
Yes — many sponsors host their own event during the week. That could be a dinner, workshop, demo day, or panel. Your event gets listed on the Deep Tech Week calendar and benefits from the concentrated audience.
How does the decentralized format benefit sponsors? +
Unlike traditional conferences, Deep Tech Week runs across dozens of events throughout the week. Your brand reaches attendees across multiple touchpoints — from intimate dinners to large keynotes — creating deeper engagement than a single conference booth.
