Sign inSTAGE 06 · GO-TO-MARKET
The prototype works, the cap table is settled, and the product needs to exist at scale. Find a manufacturing or ODM partner, run the batch, move it, and put it on the storefront — the last stretch of the pipeline, and the one that ends in a sale.
01
Pick a partner
A manufacturer for a design you own, or an ODM that takes it from spec to finished unit. Capability, region, lead time and minimum order decide which.
02
Run the batch
Tooling, a pilot run, then production. The engagement records which project worked with which supplier, so the provenance survives the handoff.
03
Move it
Freight, customs and last-mile distribution. Cold-chain goods carry their own logging; certification partners handle market entry.
04
List it
The listing is created in the studio, where pricing, inventory and fulfilment already live. R&D hands over the project; it does not fork a second product concept.
6 gates, all derived
Every gate is computed from what the project has actually recorded — none of them can be set by hand. Open a project you are a member of to see where it stands.
The project reached the go-to-market stage
Set by the founder, and recorded as a stage transition.
Verified effort is on record
Minutes the verification pipeline confirmed — not hours claimed.
Equity has been allocated
Basis points the slice ledger has actually assigned.
The cap table is baked
Run once, ever, and frozen after.
At least one supplier is engaged
The project's own record of who it approached.
A store listing exists
A live listing created in the studio.
No project has reached this stage yet.
Listings are created and managed in the studio. R&D hands over the project — it does not run a second product surface of its own.
No partner matches these filters yet.
A verification status is assigned by Qatoto, never claimed by the partner. Directory listings carry no prices: a quote belongs to an engagement, in the project's own currency.
