From science-heavy short presentation to winning pitch competition
The situation
A science startup in advanced materials chemistry was selected to participate in INAM's AdMaLab accelerator. With cutting-edge science at its core, the team had deep technical credibility - but no clear storyline. Their deck was scattered, their market framing weak, and the overall business narrative lacked coherence.
The verdict from mentors and peers? “Too early. Too academic. Not pitch-ready.”
Our approach
We saw the noise - and cut through it.
Instead of forcing generic startup logic onto the team, we worked from the science outward. We helped them clarify their technology’s actual readiness, then mapped a market logic that aligned with its technical strength - not one that diluted it.
We built a funding-worthy narrative:
‣ A structured, investor-compatible deck based on real-world industry pull.
‣ A market opportunity framed around scientific feasibility and unmet demand.
‣ A storyline strong enough to compete in front of policy, industry, and capital stakeholders.
The result
The startup won the final pitch competition - judged by independent experts from industry and public policy. Their success wasn't driven by flashy buzzwords, but by credibility, clarity, and a business case that respected the science.
Why it matters
This case shows the core of what we do:
‣ We don’t replace the science. We reveal its business relevance.
‣ We don’t use lean templates. We use real logic.
‣ And we don’t reduce complexity. We structure it.
The Arise factor
Where others tried to simplify the startup’s story to fit investor norms, we amplified what made them different.
Because when you know how to speak both science and capital - you win rooms that matter.
Here’s what the founder said:
“Two years ago, I wouldn’t have understood a fraction of what you said. Now I do. And it makes complete sense.”
