We are passionate about deep tech start-ups
that bring positive impact to the society.

What do we do?

We help visionary scientists, innovators and start-ups turn their ideas into scalable, investment-ready businesses, our expertise covers business modeling, strategy development, and funding access. We have successfully guided over 200 start-ups on their journey to commercialization.

Beyond start-ups, we support universities and incubators in fostering entrepreneurship, designing effective incubation programs, and upskilling teams to meet the unique challenges of deep-tech innovation. We also collaborate with international organizations, providing expertise in mission-driven innovation programs and ecosystem development. We have developed 7 deep-tech accelerator programs aiming to support innovative technologies to reach the
society faster.

Diversity and inclusion are at the core of what we do.

We actively support women entrepreneurs and founders from emerging regions such as the Western Balkans and Central-Asia, helping them gain access to the tools, networks, and funding opportunities they need to succeed. Through our European network, including leading innovation-backing organisations like the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), European Innovation Council (EIC),Ā  WomenTechEU and UNDP-UNICEF STEM4All, we provide tailored support that connects deep-tech innovators with the right expertise, funding, and market opportunities.

The Daring Ones

ā€œSince the first moment we met, Dora was extremely helpful and vocal about helping our team re-think our approach to market and our narrative. Both in person and in various occasions, the extraordinary vision of Dora helped us understand better what path we needed to take to achieve our goals. Her guidance was certainly fundamental in the initial successes that our venture has experienced.ā€

ā€œDora Marosvolgyi is one of the main authors of Jumpstarter, the EIT Community pre-accelerator for early-stage innovators looking to take their first steps. This initiative helps hundreds of researchers develop innovative ideas and move closer to the market. It got recognition on the European market and the EIT label, which proves the quality of the training. Through this programme, together with the EIT Community, we've reached the sky and will keep helping talented people get their ideas to market.ā€

Origin of DARE

I am Dora, innovation expert, economist and diver.

In the beginning of 2023, I created DARE Innovations. The deep tech innovation management company is registered in Hungary as a nonprofit Ltd. to serve my mission of supporting innovations that bring positive impact to the society.

The knowledge and experience behind DARE Innovations have been built step by step over the past 10+ years. At the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Health I specialised in deep tech start-up formation, creating the award-winning pan-European pre-accelerator, EIT Jumpstarter.
I have worked with various universities from the EU conveying them the Jumpstarter methodology and mentored more than hundred deep tech start-ups, accompanying them until their first investment.

Inspired by the personal story of a local medical student in Shiraz, Iran, I am dedicated to promote women entrepreneurship in the technology fields.
