Taura

Engineering the investor funnel for a next-gen sports car

A high-performance automotive startup backed by ex-Volkswagen and Toyota F1 engineers, seeking to disrupt a stagnant sports car market through a blueprint-investment model.

Execution and market impact

When a product is pre-revenue, execution speed and structural clarity are the only metrics that matter to an investor. Here is what I delivered:

From Prototype to Live MVP

Turned a raw physical prototype into a working digital MVP and an investment funnel.

Two Paths for Investors

Serious investors could either book an in-person viewing of the prototype or ask for a private investment briefing, without going through a sales call first.

A Plan for After Launch

The founder finished with a post-launch roadmap: what to build next, and where to spend on acquisition.

From prototype to first working version

Taura did not lack engineering brilliance. Their team had the pedigree to build a world-class sports car. What they lacked was the digital infrastructure to sell that vision.

The founder approached me with a blank slate: a physical prototype and an ambitious idea, but zero experience in scaling a digital presence or structuring a team. He needed an MVP to attract early-stage investors, but the sheer scale of the project was causing operational friction. I did not just build a website. I provided the organisational clarity required to launch.

Market positioning and technical strategy

This project is the perfect demonstration of how I run a studio. A traditional agency would have bloated the budget with unnecessary overhead. Instead I brought in exactly the expertise it needed.

Joaquín Imberti led the competitor analysis and forged a brand identity built around F1-level precision. I took that and built the digital product: writing the conversion copywriting, designing the UI, and developing the platform. Strict deadlines and a clear division of responsibilities are what kept it coherent.

Structuring the investor funnel

The biggest challenge wasn't simply making the website look "premium." It was designing a digital asset that acts as a silent, high-ticket sales representative.

I needed to build instant trust with a highly sceptical audience: automotive investors. The solution was a friction-free landing page that strips away the noise, highlights the engineering pedigree, and drives users directly toward our primary conversion goals (booking a physical viewing or initiating contact). It's not a brochure; it's an acquisition tool.
