A high-impact founder and executive lab for automotive technology companies that want to scale smarter, retain customers longer, raise capital wisely, and build toward lasting enterprise value.
The automotive technology market is crowded with ambitious ideas, underfunded go-to-market plans, fragile customer bases, and companies that never make it past early adoption. This MRC Training Lab was built for the founders and executives who know that product innovation alone is not enough.
Led by David Metter — an investor, advisor, board member, and longtime automotive technology leader — this session gives emerging companies direct access to the strategic guidance most founders only receive after expensive mistakes have already been made.
The numbers explain why founders keep entering this market — and why so many keep leaving it. The opportunity is enormous. So is the failure rate.
This Training Lab gives founders and executives a rare opportunity to pressure-test their thinking with someone who has seen automotive technology companies from the inside: as an operator, investor, advisor, board member, and strategic growth leader.
David Metter leads a direct, experience-driven conversation on what founders and executives need to understand before scaling, raising capital, or pursuing acquisition readiness.
Attendees have access to 15-minute direct conversation with David Metter while other participants network, compare challenges, and build relationships with other emerging automotive technology leaders.
* MRC Sponsors get first access, remaining attendees are on a first come first served basis.
