You're a PhD or postdoc, or an engineer working on technology that could reshape an entire industry. Yet most breakthrough research never makes a real impact in the world. It stays in papers, gets buried in approval processes, or dies when funding runs out. Nicole Granath, former climate tech founder now at Fifty Years, has helped hundreds of scientists and engineers transition from the lab bench to founding deep tech startups. Come learn: How to determine if your research can become a generational company The constraints and bottlenecks that will define our thriving future How to identify ideas worth a decade of your life How to navigate IP, funding, choosing the right market, and closing customers Come hear Nicole's unfiltered advice from our experience helping scientists and engineers go from idea to building companies like Plasmidsaurus (now delivering ultrafast sequencing to scientists globally) and Clippership (building autonomous sailboats to decarbonize maritime shipping). — At Fifty Years, we’ve built deep tech companies ourselves. We’ve backed over 100 deep tech companies from the earliest stages and helped them raise over $4.6 billion. This includes companies like Solugen (makes carbon-negative chemicals, now a $2B company), Astranis (delivering internet to billions of people via satellites, now a $1.4B company), and Opentrons (low-cost lab robots, now a $1.8B company). We've distilled everything we know about deep tech entrepreneurship into 5050, a free program to help great scientists and engineers become great founders. Applications for our next cohort are open: https://fiftyyears.com/5050
