Long
Most deep tech never leaves the lab because scientists and company builders rarely meet. Research meets Revenue changes that. It is a small evening built around one question: is your research a company? Researchers bring science worth building on. Company builders bring go-to-market, sales and operating experience. Through structured 1:1 matching, both sides find out in one evening whether they could start a company together. Past speakers include Dr. Pasha Shabalin (Marvel Fusion, €400M raised) and Dr. Johannes Woehrstein (mbiomics, €30M raised). The series started in Munich with TUM, CDTM and START Munich and comes to Stanford on November 12, 2026, hosted with the Stanford German Student Association.
