Purpose: This study aims to understand the similarities and dissimilarities among categories of deep tech entrepreneurshipand to be a starting point for academia to further explore the significance of the deep tech field.Methodology: We have surveyed 126 deep tech startups and used hypothesis testing to understand how attributessuch as needs, education level of the founders, financing types differs based on deep tech startup categories.Findings: We have discovered that while the location of the deep tech startup, the education level of the founders, thepast entrepreneurship experience of the founders, and the sales footprint characteristic of the deep tech startup varyaccording to the deep tech category, the needs of the deep tech startups are similar for each category.Practical Implications: The results are expected to help practitioners make their decisions more accurately whileinvesting or collaborating with deep tech startups. Similarly, policymakers can use the results to develop more relevantpolicies to support the deep tech entrepreneurship ecosystem.Originality: This study is unique in terms of; 1) defining deep tech in academia 2) understanding how deep techattributes are related with deep tech categories. 3) exploring deep tech in a developing country

Amaç: Bu çalışma, derin teknoloji girişim kategorileri arasındaki benzerlikleri ve farklılıkları anlamayı ve derin teknolojialanında bundan sonra gerçekleştirilecek akademik çalışmalar için bir başlangıç noktası olmayı amaçlamaktadır.Yöntem: İhtiyaçlar, kurucuların eğitim seviyesi ve finansman tipi gibi özelliklerin derin teknoloji kategorileri bazında nasıldeğiştiğini anlamak amacıyla 126 derin teknoloji girişimi ile anket yapılmış ve hipotez testi uygulanmıştır.Bulgular: Derin teknoloji girişimlerinin bulunduğu lokasyon, kurucuların eğitim seviyesi, kurucuların geçmiş girişimcilikdeneyimi ve derin teknoloji girişiminin satış ayak izi özelliklerinin derin teknoloji kategorisine göre farklılık gösterdiğigörülmüştür.Sonuç ve Öneriler: Sonuçların, uygulayıcıların derin teknoloji girişimlerine yatırım yaparken veya onlarla iş birliği yaparken kararlarını daha doğru vermelerine yardımcı olması beklenmektedir. Benzer şekilde politika yapıcılar da derin teknolojigirişimciliği ekosistemini desteklemek için daha etkili politikalar geliştirmek için bu çalışmadan faydalanabilir.Özgün Değer: Bu çalışma şu açılardan özgündür; 1) akademik literatürde derin teknoloji tanımı yapılması 2) derin teknoloji özelliklerinin derin teknoloji kategorileriyle olan ilişkisinin anlaşılması 3) gelişmekte olan bir ülkede derin teknolojininanlaşılması.
