Many ag tech startups focus entirely on product development, waiting too long to think about commercialization. But the reality is, go-to-market planning should happen early, not after the product is built. A strong commercialization strategy lays the foundation for sales traction, distribution success, and long-term growth. In this blog, we break down the right time to start—and how to avoid the common mistake of delaying this critical step.? ? https://lnkd.in/gB4QfSz2? ? #AgTech #Commercialization #GoToMarket
