VECTOR

6-Month Commercialisation Program

Turn your pilots into scalable sales

VECTOR embeds experienced operators who build your GTM engine with you. In 6 months, you’ll find PMF, generate repeatable sales and write the playbook to hire your commercial team.

How It Works

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

We help founders reliably turn their pilots into product-market fit.

Every deep tech founder we work with starts in the same place.

“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.

We don’t advise. We do the work with you.

Experienced operators join your team and build your sales engine alongside you — so you learn by doing, not by listening.

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.

Founders who were stuck. Then weren’t.

These founders had the same doubts you do. Here’s what changed when they stopped going it alone.

“The amount and quality of work done — Pipedrive, identifying ICPs, setting up meetings — would have taken us months on our own. We're already starting to see results from it.”

“Having the criteria to kill deals — that's the key. We shouldn't be putting any resource in until we know what your commercial pain point is.”

“Your knowledge of models is seemingly vast, and that comforts me, because I'm an engineer and I like working from a model.”

The questions you’re already asking yourself

We hear these from every founder before they apply.

Less than hiring a head of sales.
Faster than figuring it out alone.

Good for

You have a proven GTM motion and need operators to scale execution immediately.

You have a GTM thesis to execute but need strategic growth leadership to guide you through pivots.

You need executive presence on sales calls to diagnose why deals stall and pipeline underperforms.

You need a fractional CRO to step in and represent you at board level.

Every month you wait is another month of
burning runway without a repeatable sales process.

We take 5 companies per year. Book a call and we’ll see if we’re a good fit.
