6-Month Commercialisation Program

You’re a brilliant technologist forced to become a mediocre salesperson.

VECTOR embeds experienced operators who build your GTM engine with you. In 6 months, you’ll have repeatable sales and the confidence to hire your commercial team.

How It Works

We select 5 deep tech companies per year. Not 50. Not 500. Five.

Sound familiar?

These are the problems we hear from every deep tech founder we work with.

I spend all day on sales calls but nothing closes predictably.

That Fortune 500 pilot that's been 'about to close' for 6 months? You're wasting cycles on the wrong customers.

My investors keep asking about traction but I'm drowning in pilots.

Activity goes up. Conviction does not. You need a system, not more meetings.

Every advisor gives me conflicting advice while my runway burns.

One says enterprise sales. Another says PLG. A third suggests channel partners. They're all pattern-matching, not understanding your context.

Directed force, not advice from afar

VECTOR isn’t a classroom exercise. It’s an embedded team that builds alongside you.

Embedded Operators

We work inside your company 2–3 days per week — attending sales calls, writing sequences, building your CRM. Not advice from afar.

The VECTOR Framework

6 years of testing with deep tech startups distilled into a repeatable system. Vision, Execute, Constraints, Traction, Operations, Refinement.

Forced Focus

We'll give you the confidence to kill 80% of your initiatives in the first 10 days. The 20% remaining will actually move the needle.

A Playbook You Keep

By month 6, you'll have documented processes, proven channels, and the confidence to hire and lead your commercial team.

Real results, not case study theatre
