Forget the Pitch Deck: Real Sales Traction for Your Tech
βπ₯ Wave brings the future of tech to Turin. Sparksense helps you sell it.
βTo close Wave week, this evening is about what actually gets sold to customers, and the people who sell it.
βSparksense is an outsourced business development agency for deep tech startups. We help you turn strong technology into signed customers.
βDuring this session, our advisors will share real deals they've closed, the ones that stalled, and why. Think robotics, semiconductors, optics, photonics, and more. No slides. No theory. Real, raw results.
βOver 80% of our team studied engineering at Politecnico di Torino. We didn't learn to sell first and tech second. We learned the tech, then learned what actually convinces an OEM to buy it.
βWhether you're building deep tech or thinking about a career in it, this is your session.
βWhat to expect
ποΈ Real deals: what closed, what stalled, and why
π Career journeys: how our advisors moved from engineering into startup sales
β Open Q&A: ask about deals, roles, training, and opportunities
πΉ Aperitivo: network with our advisors over drinks
βAsk the hard questions you don't get to ask at a pitch competition, or in a job interview.
βWhen: Friday, October 9, 2026, on the closing day of Wave
βWho is this for?
βDeep tech founders and BD leads navigating enterprise sales cycles
βInvestors evaluating go-to-market maturity in hardware and software startups
βCorporate innovation scouts and technology buyers looking to understand founder-side realities
βEngineering and tech students in Torino curious about a career in startup sales
