Breaking down a US-based battery materials company after their Series A raise. After 9 months of design partnership they had 80 inbounds, $10M in grants, and a joint venture partnership.

Prachi and Julia walk through the full partnership week by week (from a basic website brief to board presentations, investor updates, Hanwha Q&A documents, and CES collateral) and the business results that followed.

This episode is for founders and technical teams who have raised and are figuring out what comes next. What we cover:

• Why most deep tech companies wait too long to bring in a design partner

• How information architecture changes how seriously partners take you

• Why it's not about making things pretty but about making them legible

Most of the conversation in deep tech is about how to raise and nobody talks about what happens after. That's what this episode is about.
