About Event

You've spent years on the breakthrough. Now you're stuck trying to sell it.

A free webinar with Laura and Sid for research and deep tech founders who have a brilliant idea but no idea how to get anyone to buy it. Customers, pilots, or investors.

You did the hard part. The research holds up. You have a promising product and yet you're a year or two in, still explaining what you do, still circling, still watching the funding, the pilots and the first customers slip past.

It usually isn't the science. It's the story. You're talking about what the technology can do, when buyers and investors only care about the change it makes and who that change is worth money to. So the pitch doesn't land, the room doesn't lean in, and the runway keeps burning. Meanwhile, someone with a weaker product and a clearer message gets there first.

This session is about closing that gap. We'll show you how to understand what your buyer is really trying to achieve, turn your research into a proposition an outsider wants, and build the first steps toward investment and customers. This is the exact demand-side approach we use with founders every week, stripped down to what you can act on now.

Who this is for

  • Founders spinning a business out of research, a lab, a PhD, or deep-tech and life-sciences work.

  • Anyone who can explain their technology brilliantly to a peer, yet loses the room the moment a customer or investor asks "so what?"

  • Founders who've been circling for months, know something's wrong, and are ready to face it.

Note: This is not for you if you already have clear positioning, a message that lands, recurring revenue-generating customers, or have already secured the investment you are looking for. You've already aced this bit.

What you'll walk away with

  • A sharper way to see what your buyer is actually hiring you for, instead of product features.

  • The difference between selling to customers and selling to investors, and why the same clarity unlocks both.

  • A first cut at turning your research into a value proposition a non-specialist understands and wants.

  • The early founder-led sales and go-to-market motions that get you in front of the right people.

  • A way to map your first 90 days after securing investment and route to exit
