VCs love investing in the commercial/technical co-founder duo. But not everyone has a Robin to their Batman. Lone technical founders who have groundbreaking ideas often struggle to effectively communicate their innovations to potential buyers. This communication gap often prevents their brilliant concepts from gaining the traction they deserve. I want to share the experiences of one of our newest beta users at Bella (AI BDR), which has me really excited about the possibilities of augmenting technical founders with AI-driven sales expertise to help them create opportunities that turn their bold visions into reality. He's an ex-military guy turned founder. Who found himself with the daunting task of having to do outbound sales for the first time. Unsure of where to start with his sales outreach, he joined Bella beta... Picked up the workflow intuitively. Enrolled 25 contacts into his AI research-driven outreach and 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲! Not just any appointment, but he was also referred on to the decision makers. This just made my day. On demand sales expertise enabled by AI was never possible before, this changes everything... If you're struggling on where to start with your B2B sales outreach, then... ➡️ Follow Bella (AI BDR) for more. 🦾 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐚: https://lnkd.in/gyvctDdY #sales #saas #artificialintelligence #ai #generativeai #genai #openai #anthropic #gemini #llms #llm #largelanguagemodel #founder #founders #startup #venturecapital #fundraising

Mastering the art of timing in the introduction of groundbreaking technology to the market is critical, especially for deep tech ventures. Experts Sarah Nolet from Tenacious Ventures and Phil Morle highlight the fine line between premature customer engagement, which may fall short of expectations, and the pivotal moment that maximizes early revenue through value validation. At our 9N, we've developed a two-fold strategy that has proven effective: 1) Meticulously choosing the initial customer base to engage with and 2) Introducing a specialized program for early adopters. This approach not only sets these pioneering customers apart but also aligns expectations, fostering a deeper commitment to the technology's success and sparking valuable advocacy and insight. This article emphasizes the necessity of engaging with customers early and consistently, reshaping the go-to-market strategy to navigate deep tech's unique commercialization challenges.
