A collection of resources for turning brilliant technology into commercial success. Business models, GTM frameworks, and translation tools for developers, founders, and business operators.
🚧 Currently Under Construction - Building this out over the next few weeks with comprehensive resources.
This will be a curated collection of:
- Business Model Templates - Open core, freemium, consumption-based pricing examples
- Go-to-Market Frameworks - From GitHub stars to paying customers
- Commercial Translation Tools - Tech specs → value propositions
- Real Examples - How successful projects bridged tech and business
- Industry-Specific Strategies - AI infrastructure, developer tools, B2B software
- Pricing & Packaging - What works, what doesn't, and why
While this collection is being built, check out the Business ROI Framework for Tech & AI Projects - practical guides for translating technical innovation into business value.
Includes:
- 3-Question Framework for tech → business translation
- Cost Model Templates with real examples
- Vendor Evaluation Rubrics
- Red Flags Checklist from coaching 200+ startups
Created by Dorina Buehrle - CBO/CFO at Lemony (building cascadeflow), fractional CFO for startups, PhD in Business Innovation.
Coaching 200+ startups has shown me the same patterns: brilliant tech fails not because the code isn't good, but because the translation from technical excellence to business value is missing. This collection helps bridge that gap.
Have a great resource? Want to suggest a template? Open an issue or PR. This is being built based on what's actually useful, not theoretical completeness.

Not every project needs to be a business. But when business questions come up, you shouldn't have to figure it out alone.
