Deeptech & Greentech Scale-Up and Investment Readiness
Know what will break
before you scale.
Readiness assessment for investors. Organization, evidence and execution systems for founders.

What We Solve
Good science does not automatically create a scalable company.
Early-stage deeptech companies often develop technology, organization, people, safety and capital planning at different speeds. Medaya identifies the gaps that could block the next technical, operational or funding milestone.
- 01Evidence that does not support the next milestone
- 02Scale-up assumptions that remain untested
- 03Fragmented R&D priorities and decision-making
- 04Missing roles, capabilities or management structure
- 05Safety and operational risks addressed too late
- 06Capital plans disconnected from technical execution
For Investors
Know whether the company is ready for the capital you are about to deploy.
Medaya provides stage-adjusted technical, operational and organizational diligence for early-stage industrial deeptech and greentech investments.

For Founders
Build what the next stage will require before growth exposes the gaps.
Medaya helps founding teams create the R&D organization, management systems, scale-up plan and operating discipline required for the next funding and development stage.

Methodology
The Medaya Readiness Framework
Each dimension is assessed against the standards appropriate to the company's stage. Claims are linked to evidence, gaps are ranked by consequence, and findings are converted into decisions and actions.
What the review produces
- Readiness profile
- Critical risk register
- Evidence-gap map
- Investment blockers
- 90-day de-risking plan
- Next-stage milestone roadmap
The framework supports structured judgement. It is not a substitute for specialist legal, regulatory, financial or engineering advice where required.
Medaya Readiness Framework
Illustrative Assessment
01Technology
Reproducibility of the core result and the defined operating window.
02Scale-Up
Physical path from current scale to industrial scale, with balances and pilot design.
03Engineering
Process, equipment and design maturity behind the technical claim.
04Organization
R&D operating system: cadence, gates, documentation and decision rights.
05Leadership
Technical leadership depth and the structure to run a scaling programme.
06People
Capability coverage, hiring sequence and key-person exposure.
07Safety
Hazard analysis, permitting path and ownership of safety at leadership level.
08Execution
Critical path realism: lead times, dependencies and recovery options.
09Capital
Raise sized and timed against de-risking events rather than runway.
10Commercial Validation
Specified buyer, qualification cycle and route to first industrial revenue.
Decision Outputs
What a Medaya Review delivers.
Stage-Adjusted Assessment
A clear view of readiness against the company's current and next development stage.
Ranked Risk Register
Technical, organizational, safety and execution risks ranked by consequence and urgency.
Evidence-Gap Map
The claims that require stronger validation before investment or scale-up decisions.
90-Day Action Plan
Prioritized actions, accountable owners and milestones for closing the most material gaps.
Stage-Based Approach
The same dimensions. A different bar at every stage.
Readiness is not absolute. What must be true at Seed is not what must be true at Series A, and assessing a venture against the wrong bar produces false confidence in both directions.
Pre-Seed
Testability
- Falsifiable technical hypothesis
- Experimental design
- Founder technical depth
- Initial safety awareness
Seed
Reproducibility
- Reproducible results
- Defined process window
- R&D cadence and decision gates
- First critical hires
Series A
Scalability
- Representative pilot plan
- Engineering and supply plan
- Hazard and permitting roadmap
- Management structure
Beyond
Industrialization
- Qualified operating capability
- Throughput and yield stability
- Certification and compliance
- Contracted or validated demand
Beyond Series A, readiness work continues as a future capability rather than our core focus. Medaya concentrates on Pre-Seed to Series A.

How We Work
Assess → Prioritize → Build
Each phase can stand alone. Each ends with a decision, not only a document.
Assess
Establish what is known, test the supporting evidence and identify the gaps that matter for the next stage.
Prioritize
Rank risks and actions by consequence, capital exposure and impact on the next milestone.
Build
Work alongside the team to implement the operating systems, capabilities and evidence required to progress.
About
Operator-led. Evidence-driven. Built for physical technologies.
MEDAYA PARTNERS is an independent advisory firm focused on early-stage industrial deeptech and greentech. Our approach combines scientific depth, organizational thinking, operational readiness and investment-stage discipline. We work selectively with founders, boards and investors where the route to scale depends on more than software or distribution.
