Join the Celesta Capital team for a candid and interactive discussion offering a lens on what deep tech investor-operators are seeing in the market heading into 2026. Celesta Partner David Goldman will lead a wide-ranging fireside chat with GPs Nic Brathwaite and Michael Marks exploring the macro trends accelerating the growth of deep tech, emerging sub-sectors to watch, views on current pricing and round dynamics, and the milestones that resonate with long-term deep tech investors.
David will also interview Johann George from Celesta portfolio company Normal Computing as he details the company’s mission to tackle two converging crises: the energy requirements of AI infrastructure and the escalating complexity of silicon design.
For founders, this session goes will also cover practical fundraising realities, including how investors are pricing rounds today, what matters most in diligence, how to design milestones that support step-ups in valuation, and how to think about term sheets and attracting syndicates in the current environment.
This session is designed for founders navigating fundraising and scaling decisions, and for LPs and investors looking for an insider read on where deep tech is headed next as the real economy begins to pulls the AI hype back down to earth – and we start to see true winners and meaningful consolidation.
