Neurotechnology startups sit at the crossroads of science, medicine, and engineering, so traditional metrics don’t always apply.
So what do VCs actually look for?
1. Scientific Validity & Differentiation
Is there strong preclinical/clinical data? Is the tech novel, and protected by IP?
2. Market Potential
Can it scale beyond a niche? VCs favor startups targeting high-burden diseases (like epilepsy, stroke, neurodegeneration).
3. Team Strength
Founders who combine neuroscience, engineering, and business instincts win points- especially with top-tier advisors.
4. Path to Revenue
Clear regulatory plan, go-to-market strategy, and early signs of adoption or reimbursement potential.
5. Vision + Grit
The long game requires clarity, conviction, and resilience. VCs fund teams, not just tech.
