== Our Purpose ==
The Deep Tech Wiki exists to collect, map, and share knowlege about the global Deep Tech ecosystem. Our belief is that this work is essential to equitable and effective progress towards solving the world's most significant scientific and engineering challenges.

In practical terms, we're trying to reduce the transaction costs of global Deep Tech collaboration. We have witnessed first-hand the substantial amount of resources that startups, investors, and the rest of the innovation infrastructure invests to find meaningful collaboration. Every dollar spent on this can be a dollar spent towards developing technology or creating impact instead. 

== Why a Wiki? ==
Wikipedia has proven that commons-based knowledge production has the capability to build a truly extensive and high quality information resource rivalling commercially produced encyclopedias. The Deep Tech Wiki strives to emulate that model to build a Deep Tech knowledge commons that is both trusted and useful to the community.

In adopting this model, the administrative team serves two sets of "customers": readers and contributors. Each and every contributor is deeply valued by the administrative team and our primary focus will always be to support those who invest their time, insight, and expertise to build this shared resource and to support the Deep Tech community.

== What this is not ==
This project is not meant to be a:

* Advertisting or marketing platform
* Listing or directory

Information on this wiki should be both accurate and useful, such that any connection fostered through this repository is meaningful and productive.
