TRL7Apply

Prototype platform for deeptech

Lab to TRL 7.In weeks, not years.

Electronics, firmware, mechanics and software, built in parallel by one team. You get a field-tested prototype that investors and pilot customers can actually use.

  • You own 100% of the IP
  • Fixed scope per sprint
  • Evidence packs mapped to TRL

// The problem

Great science stalls at the prototype.

Most deeptech startups don't fail on the physics. They run out of runway somewhere between the lab bench and a working demo.

ERR_01

Six vendors, no owner

PCB house, machinist, firmware contractor, app agency. Every handoff adds weeks, and nobody owns the whole system.

ERR_02

Months per iteration

Each design change sets off another round of quotes, lead times and rework. Meanwhile the runway keeps shrinking.

ERR_03

Demos that die in the field

Bench prototypes rarely survive heat, vibration or real users. Investors and grant panels can tell.

// How it works

One loop. Four steps. Zero handoffs.

01

Scope

We turn your research into a buildable spec, with a target TRL, success criteria and a fixed sprint plan.

02

Build

Electronics, firmware, mechanics and software move in parallel. You see weekly builds, not monthly status reports.

03

Validate

We test in a relevant environment and log the evidence that investors, pilots and grant reviewers ask for.

04

Hand off

You receive the source, CAD, BOM and documentation, ready for a pilot run or your own team. Your IP stays yours.

// Capabilities

The full stack, under one roof.

Electronics & PCB

Schematics, layout, bring-up and DFM-ready boards.

Embedded firmware

Bare-metal to RTOS, drivers, OTA and power tuning.

Mechanical & enclosure

CAD, rapid fabrication and ruggedised housings.

Sensors & data

Signal chains, calibration and on-device processing.

Cloud & dashboards

Telemetry, control apps and pilot-ready interfaces.

Test & evidence

Environmental testing and TRL-mapped reports.
