    1,000 Days. 130 Episodes. And It’s Just Getting Started. Deep Tech Catalyst is preparing for its next chapter.

    Dear friends, A few days ago, Deep Tech Catalyst marked an important milestone: 1,000 days since I released the very first one. 1,000 days. 130 episodes. More than 2,500 minutes of conversations, ideas, and lessons from across the Deep Tech ecosystem. To mark this milestone, I wrote a more personal post about how Deep Tech Catalyst started, what I learned along the way, how the ecosystem has changed since 2023, and where we are heading next. I also share some behind-the-scenes reflections, the questions that originally pushed me to start this project, and why I believe it is now time for the podcast to evolve. ✍️ Read the full post here: https://www.thescenarionist.com/p/1000-days-130-episodes-deeptech-catalyst Deep Tech Catalyst will take a short break for a few weeks while I work on its next chapter. In the meantime, The Scenarionist will continue at full speed with new Deep Tech Briefings, strategic deep dives, case studies, and analyses every week. 👉 You can subscribe to our newsletter here: thescenarionist.com/welcome And if you have questions, thoughts, or curiosities, leave them in the comments below.
