Rick, a computer scientist by training, most probably does the type of startup investments with the highest risk profile: early stage and deep tech only. He is a partner at one of Europe's top venture capital firms: Speedinvest. Rick can really tell the difference (and the similarities) between investing into tech startups vs. deep tech ventures with significant tech risk involved. We discuss Speedinvest's approach of embracing the early stage of deep tech investments and why ecosystems are crucial for nurturing the power of new technologies through ventures. Rick is also an expert in artificial intelligence and gives us his perspective on the most exciting developments in this very field.
