deepI is an advisory and investment firm that delivers inspiration, intelligence and innovation for a just world.
Our focus: AI-enabled defense of democracies
Our defense of democracies centers on Europe — where the stakes are sharpest, where capital is most mobilizable, and where the gap between what is needed and what exists is widest.
DeepI serves as a connective tissue — the link between the entrepreneurs building frontier capabilities, the investors who can fund them at scale, and the governments that must field them.
We connect defense startups with government buyers and institutional investors, shape the equity narratives and partnerships that allow them to scale, and advocate for the asymmetric, software-defined capabilities that actually keep open societies safe.
How we work:
We work as an independent firm by design — across thought leadership, advisory engagements, and selective co-investment — so that judgment and integrity are never subordinated to any single institution's agenda.
Every relationship serves that end: multiplying the impact of capital toward a future worth defending.
Founder: Andreas Urbanski
deepI’s purpose is to ensure that the age of AI strengthens free societies rather than hollowing them out.
We advise you on how AI will help democracies stay strong and which companies will lead the way.
Why now?
We need to act now.
Artificial intelligence is arriving at one of the most fragile moments in modern history.
Like every general-purpose technology before it, it serves noble and destructive ends with equal facility — but it is coming into its power at a time when the structures that once supplied stability are giving way.
Alliances are being renegotiated.
Supply chains — from critical minerals to semiconductors to talent — are being re-nationalized in the name of resilience. And the security umbrella that free societies long took for granted can no longer be assumed.
For Europe, this is the defining strategic imperative at this historical juncture.
The same transformative tools that can strengthen open societies can just as easily entrench closed ones. The question is no longer whether artificial intelligence will reshape the balance of power, but who will shape it — and toward what ends.
The decisions made now — about which capabilities get built, which companies get backed, and which partnerships get formed — will determine whether AI reinforces free societies or erodes them.
Our firm exists to help steer that outcome.
