Global Reach and Impact: Delivering Strategic and Tactical Excellence 

In 2024, DeepTech2Scale’s collaborations spanned the UK, Spain, Bulgaria, and Israel, delivering tailored services: 

• Go-To-Market Business Coaching: Provided to five companies over an average of three months. 

• Business Scalability Advisory and Consulting Support: Delivered through year-long working sessions. 

• Field Sales Operations Support: Intensive engagement involving diverse business tasks, including Account-Based Marketing, lead generation, sales and presales operations, partnership development and business development actions. 

Market operations extended internationally, with tangible results achieved across EMEA, APAC, and the US, including key markets for the supported startups such as Japan, Taiwan, Israel, Germany, France, the UK, Spain, and the US. 

DeepTech2Scale’s knowledge-intensive service offering combines a proven scientific methodology with its own unique methodology, specifically tailored for deep tech companies and projects. 

Our Go-To-Market Coaching focuses on uncovering untapped business potential and crafting winning strategies through meticulous market landscape research. By thoroughly analyzing industry dynamics, competitive positioning, and customer needs, we help businesses define a clear path to market success. The process includes designing scalable business models and value propositions that resonate with target audiences, followed by the creation of a detailed and actionable Go-To-Market (GTM) plan tailored to specific business objectives. 

Business Scalability Advisory & Consulting offers strategic guidance to enhance operational capacity and support growth objectives. We collaborate with clients to refine business models, develop robust scalability frameworks, and convert Go-To-Market strategies into practical action plans. This involves testing market operations to validate business models, establishing key sales transactions, and forming strategic partnerships to build sustainable market presence. 

For businesses ready to operationalize their strategies, our Field Sales Operations Support provides the hands-on expertise needed to execute GTM plans effectively. This includes implementing Account-Based Marketing strategies, generating qualified leads, and fostering partnership development. Our efforts are aimed at driving targeted market penetration and achieving measurable sales traction through customized business development activities. 

Because sales are the most crucial aspect of a business and do not occur by chance or solely because of a compelling breakthrough technology, we empower businesses to scale strategically, capture market opportunities, and achieve long-term success through this comprehensive approach.
