I am pretty familiar with the founder scene in San Francisco. Recently, I was approached by a friend who wants to start a deep tech company in Europe. He wants it to be in Europe because they want to target some specific customers in Europe. He asked me where he could start looking for investors and I couldn't tell him a single name.

Does anyone know some serious deep tech VC firms? A network of Angel investors? Something where they can start? Does anyone here have experience in the European ecosystem?

For context, they're aiming to secure approximately 4-5 million in investment.

I know there is already a question with the exact same title. But it's from 2018. I want to follow up on that 6 years later. A lot of people mentioned Stan there as SOTA. Is this still true? What companies are successfully using probabilistic programming? Are there still new startups that focus on PP? What market verticals are they focusing on? I have the feeling a lot of startups are focusing on deep learning, while PP is completely neglected. And tbh, I haven't seen a lot of deep learning frameworks being able to compete with PP in production. That might be a bit of a hot take, happy to be proven wrong.
