This is a partner episode to a blog post written on our newly launched Associated, The Collective Substack!

Join Associated co-host Danielle as she unpacks a searing question the group has discussed internally for years... are companies from all industries compatible with venture capital financing? The blog post lists out our perceived challenges of being a deeptech company working with alternative capital options and this episode is an interview with a deeptech founder, Barry Bennett. He also happens to be Danielle's father.

He is the CEO of Metals & Materials Engineers (MME) and started his company officially in 2001 after spending time running the metallurgy division of an engineering firm, working for government in an engineering capacity and studying at at top engineering schools in London, Jamaica, New York and Georgia.
