Deep Science Ventures was founded to create a better method for applied science, one that is business-minded and focused on opportunity discovery. Rather than build companies on the back of IP that is hot or on-trend, we start by identifying pivotal problems and crucial opportunities. Then, our global network of founder-type scientists build “holy grail” ventures that have the potential to redesign entire sectors. We are a team of uncompromising scientists at the intersection of scientific expertise and possibility. We are intrinsically driven to leave the world a better place than we found it. After spending 10 years in university tech transfer, venture studios, and corporate innovation arms, we’ve developed a better framework to scale the impact of science.

Helprr is building the trusted marketplace for MiniJobs: small, everyday household tasks that are too time-consuming, impractical or expensive to solve through traditional options. Today, people rely on DIY, friends, Facebook or Marktplaats, or professional services designed for larger work. The result is often slow, unclear and difficult to trust. With Helprr, people post a task and verified local Helprrs place bids. Households compare profiles, reviews, price and availability, coordinate in-app, and pay safely through the platform. Helprr structures the full experience—task, bid, agreement and payment—so both sides have more clarity and confidence. The product is live, with real customers and validated paid demand. We are now focused on building local marketplace density: finding the neighbourhoods and categories where demand and supply can match quickly, reliably and repeatedly. We’re starting in the Netherlands, beginning with the Randstad, and aim to become the trusted first choice for MiniJobs nationwide.
