Capex Hacking 101: How to Build More with Less

In deep tech, capital is finite but ingenuity isn't. We break down three unconventional strategies to reduce initial capex without compromising quality.

Deep tech is notoriously capital- intensive. The cost of labs, machinery, and manufacturing lines can kill a startup before it ever ships a product. We believe capex hacking isn't about being cheap; it's a critical survival skill focused on capital efficiency and speed.

Instead of building a massive factory from day one, we champion modular, phased buildouts that generate revenue and validate processes at each step. We also help founders leverage underutilized assets by partnering with universities or corporations with idle manufacturing lines. It's about finding the clever, non-obvious path to de-risk the journey and make every dollar count.
