Alexandra Vidyuk: CEO and Founding Partner of Beyond Earth Ventures

In this episode of Why Invest? host Luke Hyde-Smith is joined by Alexandra Vidyuk, CEO and Founding Partner of Beyond Earth Ventures, to explore the growing importance of deep tech in today’s investment landscape. Alexandra explains how deep tech – rooted in scientific breakthroughs across areas such as energy, compute, robotics and space – is shifting from niche to core, creating entirely new industries rather than simply enhancing existing ones. They discuss the realities of venture capital at the earliest stages, where identifying transformative ideas, strong founding teams and clear paths to commercialisation is key. The conversation also looks at the infrastructure of the future, and how declining costs and rapid technological progress are unlocking new commercial opportunities.
