Engagement

Investor Readiness

The operational case an investor diligences, built before the first meeting.

Who it is for

The founder of a hard-tech, deep-tech, or defense-hardware company with real technology and a raise ahead, who can show an investor the product but not yet the operation that scales it.

What you get

A diligence-ready operating picture: value-stream and unit-economics maps that show how the company gets from prototype to repeatable production, and what each unit actually costs to build
The operational data room a technical investor asks for and most hardware startups cannot produce: the production and scale-up plan, the cost-down curve, the supply and capacity assumptions, and the compliance posture (ITAR, CMMC, AS9100) stated as fact rather than intention
The operator's answer to the question that sinks hardware raises, can you actually build this at volume, backed by a build plan a technical investor can pressure-test
An honest readiness read on where the operation would fail diligence today, and the sequence to close each gap before the round opens
A warm introduction, where the fit is right, into the operators, primes, and capital across the New England defense corridor

How it works

A short, scoped engagement, typically two to four weeks, timed to land before your raise opens. It stands alone, or rolls straight into a fractional COO retainer once the round closes and the plan you showed investors has to be built.

QIā„¢ Plug-and-Play Electrical Architecture, General Inventions, LLC

General Inventions had a patented, prototype-proven electrical system and needed the operation an investor diligences before funding a hardware scale-up.
