One subscription per company — not per user. Unlimited projects, and everyone on your team gets access.
Everything you need to move faster.
Direct Coaching Access
Book 30-minute sessions with coaches matched to your specific challenge — grant strategy, IP, commercialization path, content, outreach, financial modeling.

24-Hour Email Response

Full Training Library

Learn at your own pace, implement in real time.

The Skill Library
13 skills today. New ones every week.
Every skill runs inside your own AI assistant, on your own project's knowledge — built from the same methods we run in paid engagements. Free-tier skills come with every workspace; the community unlocks the whole library.
Commercialization Plan Builder
CommunityAssemble the commercialization plan a grant application requires, written in five-question narrative order rather than the agency's section order, with a coverage map proving every content expectation is satisfied.
Competitive Analysis Builder
Free diagnosisBuild the competitive comparison a deep-tech venture needs — centred on a table of real alternatives rather than a list of startups, scored against the criteria the buyer actually uses, with the advantage quantified where numbers exist.
Financial Model Builder
Free diagnosisBuild the financial model and cash flow pro forma a deep-tech venture needs for a grant application or an investor conversation — headcount and roles as the cost model, revenue built bottom-up from units and price rather than as a share of the market, revenue broken out by the lines agencies ask for including grants and contracts, and cash timing separated from profit.
Five Questions Diagnostic
Free diagnosisCatalyzing Concepts' commercialization readiness diagnostic.
Freedom to Operate
CommunityProduce the intellectual property and freedom-to-operate content for a grant application — what has been filed and at what stage, who owns it and under what instrument, what the prior art landscape showed and why this approach is different, and what rights are still needed.
GTM Roadmap Builder
CommunityTurn completed commercialization research into a staged go-to-market rollout — stages defined by what funds them, commercial milestones at the transitions, financials per stage pulled from the pro forma, and parallel market applications contextualised against the grant topic.
IP Landscape Mapper
Free diagnosisOrient a deep-tech venture in its intellectual property landscape.
Market Landscape Analyst
Free diagnosisDescribe and size the market a deep-tech venture is entering — the regulatory regime, who holds the market today, and the technology gap that has stayed open, followed by a nested sizing stack where every step down is a stated filter rather than a guessed percentage.
Pitch Stage Builder
Free diagnosisPrepare a winning pitch-stage application for agencies that screen applicants with a short pitch before inviting a full proposal — flagship support for the DOE FY26 Genesis Mission pitch (four questions, 700 words, September 10 deadline).
Pitch Video Script
CommunityProduce the pitch video slides and script an SBIR Phase II application requires — six slides, five minutes, in an investor register rather than an evidentiary one.
Submission Readiness Check
FreeRead an applicant's current materials against the requirements of the solicitation they are actually applying to, and tell them what they don't have, what they have that wouldn't survive review, and what that leaves them in the time remaining.
TABA Proposal Generator
FreeProduce the complete TABA proposal package for a Catalyzing Concepts engagement — proposal, budget spreadsheet, and the letters a program office needs.
Techno-Economic Analysis Builder
Free diagnosisBuild or stress-test the economic case for a technology: what it costs to make at real volume, what it's worth to the customer who buys it, and whether there is room between those two numbers.
Coming soon
Included free with every Sprint and Done For You engagement.
