Choose the starting point
Start with the decision your evidence can support.
Startups use the same engagement models as established companies. There is no separate accelerator programme or discounted startup track.
01 / Entry & decision
Assess commercial readiness.
Commercial Readiness & Route Decision: €9,500 over 2–3 weeks. Review product readiness, buyer assumptions, references and route options. Receive a go, adjust or no-go memo and resource plan. Active buyer outreach is excluded.
Entry and decision scopes ↗02 / Entry & decision
Test the route with buyers.
European Market Activation: €27,500 for 12 weeks and one market cluster. Select accounts, run approved outreach, coordinate discovery and document buyer evidence. Multi-country activation starts at €42,500. Opportunities and contracts are not guaranteed.
Market Activation scope ↗03 / Operating model
Fund ongoing commercial ownership.
European Business Development Office starts at €15,000/month plus €10,000 setup, with a six-month minimum: €100,000 initial fees. European Commercial Lead starts at €22,500/month plus €15,000 onboarding, with a six-month minimum: €150,000.
Ongoing operating models ↗04 / Operating model
Build for a later internal team.
Build–Operate–Transfer establishes, operates and hands over the agreed function. All three phases start at €475,000 in total, including a minimum 12-month operating phase. It requires the runway and a receiving team to support that commitment.
Build–Operate–Transfer ↗Published minimum totals exclude VAT and agreed additional costs. Final scope and contract terms govern. A stalled existing European route may instead call for Commercial Recovery & Partner Reset; see Offers.

Who is ready for this work?
Fit depends on product readiness, an identifiable industrial buyer and the ability to support and fund execution. Funding status alone is not enough.
A demonstrable product
An industrial or technical B2B product with a specific use case, available technical evidence and a credible path to delivery and support. The sector focus is shown above.
Founder participation
A founder or management owner who joins key discovery, provides technical answers, approves pricing and acts on evidence. Commercial learning cannot be delegated entirely.
Runway to follow through
Budget for the mandate and for pilots, integration, support and delivery if buyers progress. A positive conversation is only the beginning of the investment.
Idea-stage ventures, consumer products, e-commerce, fundraising-only requests and companies unable to fund or support execution are outside this scope.
Delivery credibility
Keep the commercial learning inside your company.
Bircan leads commercial direction. The mandate identifies assigned people, capacity, markets, languages and specialist support. Your founders retain product and customer decisions while BRCN Studio owns the agreed commercial work.
Account evidence
Document who has the problem, how buying decisions are made, what technical proof is missing and whether a next step is agreed. Record weak responses and closed reasons as well as positive signals.
Operating rhythm
Execution mandates use weekly reviews of next steps, blockers and management requests. Decision scopes use agreed review milestones.
Client control
You retain product, quotation, contracting, warranty, delivery and service authority. Access, approved claims, conflicts and escalation rules are documented.
Assess the evidence separately. Operator Background covers historical experience; Client Stories provides case context. Anonymised accounts and illustrative system examples are not independently verified performance proof. Request evidence relevant to your mandate during scoping.
Economic fit
Protect runway with explicit decision gates.
Compare fees with contribution after integration, fulfilment, support and partner costs. Allow for the buying cycle and the cash required to deliver. Early pilots do not establish repeatable sales on their own.
BRCN Studio fits when…
You need defined European commercial responsibility, can support technical discovery and have the runway to fund and act on evidence.
Hiring fits when…
The route is proven, a sustained full-time role is clear, and you can recruit, manage and support that person internally.
An agency fits when…
You need a bounded campaign and already have an internal owner for qualification, follow-up and commercial decisions.
Engagements use project fees or retainers. A performance component may supplement the fee; commission-only execution is not offered.
Build · Operate · Transfer
Prepare the handover while doing the work.
Document account history, partner context, playbooks and operating routines throughout delivery. A formal Build–Operate–Transfer engagement adds an agreed build phase, operating term and structured handover.
Account strategy, systems, roles and governance.
Execution, pipeline evidence and management reviews.
Documented assets, open actions and receiving-team readiness.
People, licences, contracts and third-party relationships require separate agreements, consent and practical feasibility. Transfer is not automatic after an activation project.
Before appointment
Questions worth resolving early.
Is this a venture studio or fundraising programme?
No. BRCN Studio provides paid European commercial scopes for product-ready industrial and technical B2B companies. Venture building, fundraising and general startup coaching are outside this service.
Which market direction does this cover?
Europe is the destination: international startups entering Europe, including Asia-Pacific companies, and European startups expanding across selected European markets. Countries and languages are agreed in scope.
Can we pay only through commission or equity?
No. Engagements require a paid project scope or retainer. An agreed performance component may supplement the operating fee; equity or commission does not replace it.
What if buyers do not respond or the use case changes?
The review records the evidence and recommends whether to adjust, continue or stop. There is no automatic move into a larger mandate and no guarantee of customers, revenue or repeatable sales.
What is the difference between the fit call and Readiness?
The first Commercial Fit Review conversation is complimentary. Commercial Readiness & Route Decision is a paid €9,500 assessment lasting 2–3 weeks. It does not include active buyer outreach; that belongs in an execution scope.
Start with your situation
Which commercial decision should come next?
Share your product, strongest use case, existing buyer evidence, technical capacity and runway for European execution. The first fit conversation is complimentary. A paid engagement starts only after scope, fees and responsibilities are agreed.
