In the rapidly evolving world of Deep Tech, securing the best talent is not just important—it’s the engine driving innovation forward. Yet, one of the biggest hurdles for startups is competing with established players without access to vital data on executive compensation. Even within our portfolio, nearly 20% of support requests we receive are related to compensation and hiring.
Recognizing this challenge, XAnge and Coulter Partners have united to conduct a landmark study in this realm with a particular focus on sectors including Computational Biology, Health, Novel Energy, and Climate.
This unique collaboration aims to bridge the gap, offering unparalleled insights into executive compensation within Deep Tech.

Deep Tech is characterized by the introduction of groundbreaking science and engineering innovations into products and companies for the very first time. Such technologies have been the driving force behind major waves of innovation, akin to the creation of electricity or the transistor. Consequently, Deep Tech companies present a unique risk profile, often facing higher technological risks while experiencing lower market risks, necessitating innovative investment strategies tailored to their distinct needs.
The culmination of our comprehensive Deep Tech Executive Compensation Benchmark will be unveiled in March 2024, coinciding with the much-anticipated Hello Tomorrow Global Summit on March 21st.
