Get your deep tech startup through the valley of death.

Why Abele-Solutions

I'm Dustin Abele, a chemist working in clean and deep tech. Most early-stage hard tech companies don't fail from bad science. They fail because the path from bench to pilot to commercial is unmapped, capital gets spent on the wrong experiments, and the techno-economics don't survive diligence.

I help founders fix that before it kills the round.

How I help

Technical leadership and strategic guidance tailored for deep tech startups.

CTO-as-a-Service

Step in as your technical lead. Set R&D priorities, manage external partners (national labs, universities, CROs), and translate the science into investor-ready milestones.

Lab build-out & MVP demonstration

Design and stand up the lab you need to validate the core technology. Equipment specs, protocols, and the experiments that actually prove the MVP works.

Build TEA models that hold up to diligence. Full mass balance, six-scale CAPEX with proper scaling, OPEX in defensible units. Internal go/no-go decisions and external fundraising support.
