The Go Vertical Story: Founder-Led, Impact-Driven
Over time, we encountered recurring obstacles across numerous product launches:
- Products that were patented but impossible to manufacture.
- Designs that looked great on paper but weren’t functionally feasible.
- Innovations with potential but no clear path to commercialization.
The disconnect between intellectual property and product execution was significant, costing inventors time, money, and their shot at market success. We knew there had to be a better way.

From Vision to Viability—The Story Behind Go Vertical ICM
At Go Vertical ICM, our journey is rooted in a passion for transforming ideas into impactful products. Our mission is to support inventors worldwide in bringing their innovative concepts to life, ensuring they benefit society and the economy.
Our Origin: Where It All Started
Go Vertical ICM was born out of a challenge—and a realization.
We began our journey as Michael & Hope a company focused on high-quality product manufacturing. Our goal was clear: help entrepreneurs and inventors bring their ideas to life through reliable production, quality sourcing, and efficient supply chain execution.
Our Turning Point: From Manufacturing to Science-Driven Innovation
- That’s when the idea for Go Vertical ICM took root.
- Instead of starting with manufacturing, we decided to start with the science.
- Instead of building first, we research.
- Instead of pushing products, we validate ideas.
With a background in engineering , manufacturing , regulatory and commercialization , our team built a methodology grounded in scientific rigor, technical research, and business logic.
Today, we help innovators avoid costly mistakes by providing them with a roadmap to market that’s been tested, validated, and engineered for success.
We’ve worked with startups, first-time inventors, health tech founders, and international brands—all with one thing in common:
- They want to build something smart, scalable, and successful.
- And that starts with the right strategy.
WHAT WE DO
We design and execute structured pathways for physical products and devices, from early concept through to manufacturing readiness. Our focus is on de-risking development, aligning stakeholders and making sure every step you take is grounded in feasibility, risk awareness and commercial logic.
- Assess technical and regulatory feasibility for product and device concepts.
- Build investor-ready development roadmaps with clear phases, milestones and costs.
- Coordinate design, engineering, prototyping, testing and validation.
- Prepare products for manufacturing partners and regulatory pathways.
- Provide specialised support for sensitive and regulated categories such as MedTech and Femtech.
what we do
Go Vertical ICM was founded to fill a gap between idea-stage inventors and full-scale manufacturers. Too many promising products stall because they lack a realistic roadmap, risk visibility and structured execution. We built Go Vertical ICM to bridge that gap – partnering with founders and innovation teams to get complex products investor-ready and technically sound.
Leadership
Led by Michael and Hope, Go Vertical ICM brings together expertise in product development, innovation strategy, regulatory-sensitive categories and commercialization. Our team and network of partners support projects at different stages, from early feasibility through to pre-production and manufacturing readiness.
