I%27ve spent 20 years working with deep-tech founders on exactly that gap - across more than 10 cleantech and chemtech ventures, from earliest TRL through to exit. That includes equity and grant funding ranging from £500K to £20M, and guiding my first venture through to the successful sale of its IP and technology to ContiTech.

Deep-tech founders consistently overestimate where their technology stands - and underestimate how far the commercial and manufacturing reality lags behind. This gap is where I work - TRL, CRL & MRL.

I work as a fractional commercial lead or strategic advisor - typically with pre-seed to Series A founders in cleantech, chemtech, climatetech and deep tech across EMEA. I also work with investors and grant bodies who need founders to have done the readiness work properly before they back them.
