In addition to guidance and access to capital, CTM seeks to offer incubated ideas a set of shared services related to technology and market need validation, marketing, sales, go-to-market, beta customer capture, and conversion.

Rather than a traditional venture capital focus on market clarity, CTM looks for clarity of a problem to be solved, an understanding of why current approaches are unlikely to meet the need, and a fundamentally new approach.

CTM was founded in 2017 by Lou Steinberg, a serial entrepreneur and corporate executive.
