Hi all! Anyone here doing GTM/RevOps for deeptech companies? Working on a paper comparing SaaS vs deeptech practices and would appreciate some expert opinions and contributors. Thank you.

What do you consider as deeptech these days?

very good question 🙂 AI, ML, Infra, Biotech - the main differentiator is the R&D component (going beyond incremental software improvements or business model innovations)

How does RevOps fit at extensive R&D?

that's what I'm looking to define. In R&D heavy orgs the product is ahead market understanding in most cases so RevOps becomes crucial to bridge product and commercial

I'm an independent assessor for U.K. Government backed grants. One aspect I always look at is commercialisation of R&D even at the very earliest stage. What's the GTM? Have you got pilot customers and distribution partners etc

Happy to contribute here. I’ve worked across GTM and revenue systems in security and AI environments, and the SaaS vs. deeptech contrast is meaningful, especially around sales cycle length, validation burden, buying committees, and how RevOps supports technical proof rather than pure velocity. In deeptech, GTM tends to be more evidence-driven, founder-involved, and integration-heavy. SaaS often optimizes for repeatability and pipeline efficiency sooner. If useful, I’d be glad to share a structured comparison from the operator side.
