THE COLOSSUS METHOD

THE STRATEGY FOR THOSE LOOKING TO BUILD BIG

Based on research from Daigle Labs, The Colossus Method is a framework that increases odds of startup success from 10% to 66%. The Colossus Method has been used to launch and scale businesses across AI, fintech, agriculture, and climate tech, generating hundreds of millions in contracts and enterprise value. 

 

THE PURPOSE OF COLOSSUS

Most technology commercialization efforts fail, not because of bad ideas or poor technology, but because of poor structure, weak social networks, and uncoordinated execution. Traditional accelerators optimize pitch decks, not venture durability. Colossus was built to solve this gap. 

 

THE FIVE PILLARS OF COLOSSUS

SMARTER TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION

The Colossus Method grounds the technology commercialization process in five pillars:

• Pixar-grade storytelling that persuades investors, talent, and customers
• Disciplined management with clear delegation and persistent follow-up;
• Providing access to a diverse social network for fundraising and sales channel access;
• Founding team resumes with two or more past venture building experiences.
• Starting ventures in terrains that are urban, have moderate levels of economic inequality, and that are hubs for R&D.

Together, the five pillars of The Colossus Method form a SMARTer approach to technology commercialization. 

 

COLOSSUS BEYOND STARTUPS

The Colossus Method brings startup grade discipline to enterprise technology commercialization. Applied inside large organizations, Colossus turns promising technologies into revenue-bearing lines of business, not stalled pilots. Dr. Coles has deployed The Colossus Method with some of America's biggest innovators in computing, space, and energy including IBM, SpaceX, and Constellation Energy.
