From pilot to contract

How I approach a DefenceTech engagement

  1. Define the next milestone

    Agree up front which result unlocks the next contract or round.

  2. Design the pilot with purpose

    Shape the pilot so it leads to procurement, integration or a real customer.

  3. Prove it in real conditions

    Show a product that works in the field, next to a business model that can grow.

  4. Scale through partners

    Integrate with primes and established systems where competing with them doesn't pay.

Speaking and mentoring

I speak and run one-to-one sessions for founders on DefenceTech investment, pilots and commercialization. Get in touch about events and programs.
