Keys to Launch
Our Catapult Program
Our Catapult Program uniquely offers hands-on mentorship, strategic partnerships, and disciplined operational expertise, helping startups accelerate through the early-stage minefield of going to market. With the support of our network of industry luminaries and early adopting practitioners, the program is designed to catapult startups to the next stage of business development with a three phase approach: Ready, Aim, Launch.

Build product validation strategies, gaining feedback from leading early adopters
Define early stage pricing and financial model
Aim
In phase 2, we apply an intensive go-to-market validation process:
Define proper sales strategies, sales channels, channel partners
Identify start-up’s key market segment and solidify a focused product marketing strategy
Introduce start-up to the proper ecosystem of partners and allies aligned to support, test, and validate product
Launch
In phase 3, we drive accelerated go-to-market efforts:
