Startup comments #1
Real Tech Fund is one of the few investors that recognized the potential of our technologies, and of silicon photonics in particular. We were able to communicate our technological potential to a broader range of society through collaboration with Dentsu, a Fund partner.

Real Tech Fund has a deep understanding of MELTIN’s visions and has provided extensive support since our early days in areas that include business development, funding, branding. This has allowed us to ensure vision-based product and business development, accelerating our business, fundraising, and other endeavors.

Real Tech Fund provided strong support in the recruitment of our COO and Director of Technology Development, surprising us with the hands-on approach of emailing candidates directly to persuade them to join us. We were able to experience the strength of the Fund’s business company network when we managed to conclude a business partnership deal within a short period with a major manufacturer that we had always wanted to collaborate with.
