The commercial logic
inside your technical
product.
Early-stage deep tech companies build extraordinary things and then struggle to explain them. I help founders bridge the gap between scientific breakthrough and market traction — through rigorous technical advisory, strategic clarity, and hands-on commercial support.
I work where the technology is real but the commercial path is unclear.
My work spans technical audits, investor-ready due diligence, product strategy, go-to-market planning, and SEMI certification guidance — in quantum, semiconductor, AI hardware, and advanced energy.
- Deep tech and hardware startups (pre-Seed to Series B)
- VCs and family offices conducting technical due diligence
- Corporate innovation teams entering deep tech adjacencies
- European startups preparing for SEMI regulatory certification
Eight engagements, one mission.
Rigorous, evidence-based work for founders and investors at the inflection points where technology meets commercial reality.
Technical Due Diligence
Investor-grade assessment of technology, IP, team, and scalability.
Strategic & Technical Audit
Full-scope review of architecture, roadmap, and competitive positioning.
Manufacturing Readiness
From lab prototype to pilot line: MRL, scale-up risks, supply chain.
SEMI Certification Readiness
Gap analysis and prep for SEMI S2, S8, S14, and F47 certifications.
Product Strategy
Vision, roadmap, and value proposition aligned with technical reality.
Go-to-Market Strategy
Market entry, segmentation, partnerships and launch execution.
Investor Readiness
Sharpen your thesis, prepare your data room, anticipate DD questions.
Fractional CTO & Advisory
Senior technical presence without a full-time hire — credibility & guidance.
Deep tech founders face a unique challenge: the technology is the product, and most advisors don't understand both sides. Romain does.
