Series ACommercial
Operator
The gap between a funded deeptech venture and commercial growth is not a technology problem. It is a commercial execution problem.
Every market has a geography of resistance. The right first customer is rarely in your home market. The right first partner is rarely the most obvious one. Finding them is applied sociology - and most founders never stop to map it. The standard sales cycle in deeptech runs two to four years. It does not have to.
Full ownership of the commercial function. From first contact to signed off-take agreements, ramp-up volumes and strategic partnerships. CCO or VP Commercial - embedded as the operator who owns the commercial journey end to end.
Success-linked components and equity structures available for engagements of 12+ months. Final structure discussed in proposal.
