Deep tech isn't SaaS.
Your go-to-market shouldn't be either.
LaunchRight exists because standard startup playbooks fail deep tech founders. SaaS metrics, 30-day sales cycles, and growth-hacking tactics don't map to 12-month enterprise deals with multi-layered procurement, enterprise legal teams, and rigorous security reviews.
You built something real. Now you need to sell it.
You know the moment. Your technology works. The prototype impresses. Early pilots generate real excitement. Then someone on your board asks: "How do you sell this at scale?" And you don't have a good answer yet.
That silence is expensive. I've watched it cost founders months of runway, investor confidence, and sometimes the company itself. And the worst part? The founders who win aren't always the ones with the best technology. They're the ones who built the commercial infrastructure early.
I've spent 20+ years in that exact gap — between breakthrough technology and first revenue. Six industries. Deals from seed stage through nine-figure licensing. I've seen what works and what doesn't, over and over.
But here's why I built LaunchRight. Early in my career, I had an advisor who took me under his wing when I was running my own startup. He'd been through it all before, and his coaching saved me years of pain. The mistakes I didn't make because of him — bad pricing, wrong buyers, contracts that would have killed us — I can't put a number on it. I never forgot that.
This is my way of giving that back. The next generation of deep tech founders shouldn't have to figure out enterprise sales by trial and error. The Blueprint is the system I wish existed when I was in your shoes. Ten modules. Everything from ICP definition to contract templates to board reporting. Not theory. Not frameworks you'll never use. Infrastructure you own and your team can run.
I work alongside founders, not above them. We build your commercial engine together, then I hand you the keys.
How we think
Ten operating principles drawn from scaling deep tech companies. They guide every engagement.
Focus Is the Strategy
Narrow your ICP ruthlessly to where you can win decisively. Velocity compounds; dilution kills.
Build the Simplest Version That Works
Deep tech founders over-engineer by default. Customers pay for outcomes, not elegance.
Stay in the Customer's World
Talk to customers continuously. Field conditions reveal what labs cannot.
Design a Company That Can Sell
A product without a commercial engine is research. Revenue is the only proof.
Make Culture a Weapon
A disciplined team outmaneuvers better-funded competitors. Standards are non-negotiable.
Build Loops, Not One-Off Wins
Funnels end. Loops compound. Design systems where each deployment improves the next demo.
Fund Acceleration, Not Exploration
Raise capital to scale what already works, not to skip validation.
Prioritize Facts Over Narratives
The stories founders tell themselves cause slow failure. Reality is the scoreboard.
Make Hard Decisions Early
Bad prototypes, unclear markets, underperformers don't fix themselves.
Hold Bold Vision, Execute Ruthlessly
Your ambition can be unreasonable; your operations cannot be.
