Deep Tech startups — businesses fueled by AI, the Internet of Things, and machine learning (ML) — witnessed record funding in 2018. Robotics startup GreyOrange raised $140 million spearheaded by Mithril Capital, and investors think the growing interest in niche technology is being driven by a growing talent pool.
