Founders: Get predictable, scalable revenue
The Problem
Great Products Don’t Sell Themselves
Most technical founders underestimate how complex and mission critical early commercialization is. Without a clear understanding of your market, customer, and go-to-market strategy, you risk wasting years building something no one will buy.
Customer discovery feels slow, messy, and labor-intensive.
Enterprise sales are out of reach without the right relationships - and when big opportunities do arise they don’t take the solution seriously.
Founders get distracted from building in pursuit of dead-end, vanity sales metrics.
Investors pressure you to do more selling but they don’t have the time to truly understand where your customer engagement is breaking down and why.

About us
Magellan Ventures was founded to help technical founders turn breakthrough ideas into real-world impact.
Inspired by a father with a PhD in biochemistry who built a medical diagnostics company, Steve Norman developed an interest in the commercialization of early-stage technology.
He began his own journey with a neuroscience background, helping launch a cancer therapy now in human trials, and went on to lead go-to-market efforts across biotech, cybersecurity, and open-core startups, including working as the only Sales hire for ZeroTier on their path from Pre-Seed to Series A.
Today, Magellan Ventures partners closely with founders through product-market fit and early growth to reduce the timeline and risk of achieving scalable, repeatable revenue.
