We’re excited to announce our new deep-tech fundraising project for Innoseis Sensor Technologies!
Innoseis Sensor Technologies is developing the next generation of innovative sensing products, offering the smallest, lightest, and most power-efficient motion sensors available today. They are enabling a new wave of technologies—both existing and emerging—that require sensitive, compact, and reliable motion data.
Innoseis ST enables new frontiers in ultra-precision sensing by translating breakthrough physics into fingertip-sized, ultra-sensitive sensors. Founded on gravitational-wave research at Nikhef by CEO Dr Mark Beker and CTO Prof Dr Jo van den Brand, the company has consistently bridged scientific precision with scalable integration.
Its first commercial product—a geophone-based seismic node—captured 35 % of the global seismic-sensor market in just three years. Building on that success, Innoseis ST has miniaturised the same architecture into a MEMS accelerometer that delivers laboratory-grade accuracy, ultra-low noise, and microwatt-level power draw, positioning the company to revolutionise high-end industrial, aerospace, and defence applications.
De-risked and production-ready, these MEMS devices provide gravitational, acceleration, and navigation-class performance at low cost and with minimal power budgets, opening new opportunities in commercial space missions, low-noise measurement systems, and dual-use security technologies.
The semiconductor industry has shaped the modern world in ways few industries ever have. From powering consumer electronics and enabling artificial intelligence to transforming healthcare, automotive systems, communications, and defense technologies, semiconductors remain at the core of global technological progress.
When you’re pitching to VCs, the trap is to sound like every other founder with slides on “market size” and “team.” That’s noise. In most cases, investors care less about technical complexity itself and more about what makes your technology unique, and why competitors won’t be able to copy it easily.
When people talk about “pillars of fundraising,” they often assume there’s one universal list. However, there is no single universal set of pillars in fundraising. Different fundraising experts describe different four-pillar models, each with its own logic and purpose.
