“Too small to see, too bright to ignore.” — 4K-MEMS
We’re excited to launch our new fundraising project for 4K MEMS, a Switzerland-based deep-tech startup. 4K-MEMS is developing unique NIR emission devices, a breakthrough technology that enables new paradigms in personalized sensing. 4K-MEMS designed compact, powerful light sources which can be seamlessly integrated into next-generation platforms, unlocking applications across health, consumer electronics, and beyond.
TD Shepherd is supporting the 4K-MEMS team in their seed round fundraising and wishes them success in accelerating high-performance sensing.

Many founders who receive a Non-Binding Offer consider it a big achievement. Especially after months or years of development, a potential acquirer looks like a sign that hard work is bearing fruit. But being excited sometimes may lead founders to make mistakes.
A successful deep-tech M&A transaction requires more than just buying and selling — it requires unique insights that no ‘typical’ advisor should have access to. The success of such a complex deal hinges on knowing how new technologies relate to other technologies, IP, and current & future market trends.
Many founders underestimate how different deep tech fundraising really is. Deep tech funding rounds don’t follow the same rules as software funding rounds. These rounds take more time, they are larger, and are validation-driven due to long-lasting R&D cycles and capital intensity. Imagine that each round answers the question, then what question would it be?
