Live Theater session by Silicon Catalyst: Funding the Future of Sensors

Session details:

In 2025, most analysts agree that emerging sensor technologies will be among the most significant enablers for the practical applications of AI and other deep tech capabilities that will change the world. For this reason, sensor market visibility and growth potential have caught the attention of investors globally. Venture capital spending shows signs of strengthening in the sensor and MEMS sector for the first time in 20 years.

The change in available venture capital funding creates an opportunity for universities, entrepreneurs, and enterprises that seek to commercialize new sensing technologies to move forward. In this presentation, we will review the role venture capital and government funding have played in the development of sensor companies and provide perspectives on securing the necessary funding for start-up companies to accelerate and thrive. The materials will also review several case study examples from recent Silicon Catalyst portfolio companies.
