Supplier & Qualification Setup
A structured execution engagement for ventures that have completed a Hardware Readiness Assessment (or equivalent) and are ready to formalize supplier relationships and book the qualification campaign. SAV moves the venture from "here is the plan" to "here are the signed agreements and booked facilities." Fully briefed by the venture's synthetic team and prior assessment output, no re-discovery.
Where this fits
When Supplier & Qualification Setup is the right move
The hardware plan is already in place
A Hardware Readiness Assessment (or equivalent) has mapped the campaign. What remains is moving from plan to signed agreements and booked facility slots.
Supplier conversations are stalling
Initial supplier contact has been made but agreements are not progressing. Founder time is being spent on coordination instead of engineering.
Test facility access is time-critical
Facility lead times are pressing against the venture's schedule. The team needs someone experienced at negotiating startup-friendly access and placing deposits.
A unified schedule is missing
Supplier lead times and test facility windows are not yet integrated into a single critical-path view. Schedule risk is being carried without visibility.
What it delivers
Signed agreements, booked facilities, unified schedule
A hands-on engagement typically running 6–10 weeks, with SAV embedded alongside the venture's technical lead:
- ✓Supplier shortlist convergence, down to one or two named suppliers per critical subsystem
- ✓Warm introductions and meeting facilitation, SAV makes the introductions and attends initial technical discussions
- ✓RFQ and proposal structuring, drafting documents that match what qualified European aerospace suppliers need
- ✓MoU or LOI drafting, moving suppliers from conversation to signed letters of intent
- ✓Test facility booking, confirming availability, negotiating startup-friendly access, placing deposits
- ✓Integrated schedule, unified supplier and qualification schedule with critical-path visibility
