Deep technology companies have staying power. The have revolutionary technical solutions that redefine or create new markets. Medical devices that help save lives, big data models used to solve world hunger, and clean energy solutions aimed at stemming global warming are all examples of deep technology. Deep technology is not built on business model innovation or offline to online business model transition using existing technology. Uber, for instance, would not qualify as a deep technology company because it was founded on a business innovation; the “sharing economy.”

Deep technology startups often share the following qualities:

1. Developed from years of research and lab testing

2. Ownership of the intellectual property

3. Technical board of advisors in addition to the board of business advisors

Deep technology startups have the ability to change the world and generate incredible economic value for early investors. These new businesses propose revolutionary solutions to global problems with the disruptive potential to create entirely new markets. Angel investors and venture capital funds alike seek investment opportunities in deep technology startups because they often have highly valuable intellectual property which may yield monumental returns. Once established, deep technology businesses can develop barriers to entry for competitors that allow for the building of a valuable enterprise. Investors with vision can create value for the world and profit themselves by investing early in these companies.

Here are a select few worth taking a closer look at:

Numerai (exchanges: most)

Numerai just released something absolutely amazing, “ERASURE is an unstoppable decentralized data marketplace for predictions powered by the Numeraire token (NMR).”

Erasure allows anybody to upload predictions, stake them with NMR, and build a track record that everyone will trust. It solves the market collapse problem for prediction feeds and allows a marketplace for predictions to form.

The really amazing part about this is that it provides a new way for their community to monetize while also providing the entire global economy to participate. They are starting with hedge funds but I assume they’re wide adoption to just about anybody. This leaves the market wide open for capture and domination. Source.

Basically, my predictions are a track record that is hashed to the blockchain based on their NMR token. Exploding upwards is the only way I can describe what’s going to happen next with NMR. They’ve been around a while and have had plenty to show the public in terms of their deep technology foundations.

A definite long term portfolio protector!

Vectorspace AI (exchanges IDEX: VXV)

Going a little deeper, Vectorspace AI, in addition to the recently held reddit AMA on their science and technology (read the comments, amazing!) on one of the most popular subreddits, r/askscience they are now holding another one on reddit.com/r/CryptoMarkets here on Oct 16. They are also working on something very interesting related to “wallet APIs” and reddit as described in their latest PR:

VALLETA, MALTA / October 02, 2018 / Pushshift.io, a social media data engineering company and Vectorspace AI, a Natural Language Processing (NLP) company, will jointly develop an advanced context-controllable Natural Language Processing (NLP) system and platform that will analyze human language surrounding global trends, scientific topics, concepts and entities such as public companies and cryptocurrencies. Initially, the platform will be used to extend automated feature engineering services offered by both companies based on data, meta-data and triangulated data from social media companies such as reddit.com. Additionally, the generation of alternative datasets for life sciences and the global financial markets will be available for licensing via an API alternative dataset services business unit. Source.

Cindicator (exchanges: most)

Cindicator is a fintech company that is working to create the social and technological infrastructure needed to make effective decisions under the volatile conditions of the new economy.

By combining a large number of diverse financial analysts and a set of machine learning models into a single system, we are developing a Hybrid Intelligence infrastructure for the efficient management of investors’ capital in traditional financial and cryptomarkets.

1. Cindicator creates questions in the mobile app.
2. Forecasters make predictions on a daily basis, answering a number of specific questions about the price levels of different financial assets, macroeconomic indices, and events that significantly influence the market.
3. Right after the question closes (at the deadline), the artificial intelligence system synthesises accurate forecasts using machine learning algorithms based on the statistics accumulated through forecasters’ predictions.

Machine learning models dynamically calculate various weights for each forecaster, identify stable systematics in their errors, calculate corrections for the errors, eliminate noise, and generate final predictions and trading signals.

Good match for anyone looking to add real value to their portfolio!
