If you are building a deep tech company in the Netherlands on a patent or licence you own, this is an Eindhoven fund whose stated entry point is a venture building programme rather than a pitch alone.
About
DeepTechXL is a venture capital fund based at High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, built on an earlier initiative and operating under its current name since 2022. It invests in early stage Dutch deep tech startups and scale-ups that hold defendable intellectual property such as patents or licences, across six technology areas: advanced materials, digital technologies, engineering and fabrication technologies, nanotechnology, photonics and light technologies, and quantum. It also expects an investment to address one of four themes: energy transition and sustainability, security, health and care, or agriculture, water and food. Selected companies go through a venture building programme of several months before a seed investment, and the fund caps its stake per company as a share of its total commitments while reserving capital for follow-on rounds. Its founding partners include two large Dutch technology companies, a regional development agency, the national applied research organisation and the campus itself.

Good to know
- It invests only where there is defendable intellectual property such as a patent or a licence. A company without that is outside its stated criteria.
- A commercial fund with a staged entry: companies it selects complete its venture building programme before it invests, so the decision is made over months rather than in a meeting.
- Its route in is the venture building programme rather than an open application, and it selects the companies that enter it.
