About
Dr. Harry Destecroix is a British scientist entrepreneur, and investor. In the midst of his doctoral research, he ventured into entrepreneurship by establishing Ziylo in 2014. Only a year later, recognizing a pressing need, he embarked on creating a deep technology incubator to foster Ziylo and similar ventures, which has since evolved into the widely recognized Science Creates ecosystem. Under his leadership as CEO, Ziylo flourished and was acquired by Novo Nordisk in 2018 in a lucrative deal potentially worth $800 million, as reported by Forbes. Currently, Destecroix spearheads SCVC as the founding Managing Partner, and the firm recently marked the inaugural close of its second Deep Tech Fund, aiming for a $100 million target. Science Creates has notably established two deep tech incubators in Bristol, UK, and has inaugurated a national engineering biology accelerator. This is complemented by a STEM charity to spark a passion for deep tech entrepreneurship among schoolchildren. De
