Ozonium, a Finnish cleantech startup based in Tampere participated HUBS’s Go-to-Market Plan course as partner in two executions, in fall 2021 and spring 2022.
Go-to-Market -plan is an 8-week sprint where you will develop ideas from experiment to a concrete and sustainable launching plan – working in a multidisciplinary team together with the idea creator/owner.
Ozonium distributes and markets systems and solutions based on Ozone generation technology. They also offer consultancy services to help companies’ transition to a more ecologic disinfection and cleaning for their facilities.
What were the key learnings for Ozonium?
We learned to communicate our business better, especially to an audience who is not familiar with our industry. Also, to be more effective when working with consultants (in this case, the student group).
We expected to hear ideas about strategies to boost our Social Media presence and build our brand, says Reyver Serna.
It was an interesting experience. Thanks to the million questions, doubts, and tasks they had, we were able to look at our own business from another perspective. It’s a very enriching journey where you need to work with people from fields different than your business areas. Such cooperation helps to see hidden gaps, identify patterns and trends, and discover what makes a great team great.

For what kind of organizations would you recommend Go-to-Market Plan?
“I would highly recommend startups and small organizations to take part in the course”, says Reyver Serna.
It can be a good test environment where you can try new team dynamics and find out customer niches, as well as to review the business narrative.

The scale of assessment: Very satisfied – Somewhat satisfied – Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied – Somewhat dissatisfied – Very dissatisfied
Key takeaways for Ozonium
- Be clear and simple when explaining your business and value proposition. Don’t get lost in technical explanations and long narratives: “Less is more.”
- Team dynamics are essential to executing any kind of plan. With good team harmony, you can land a car on the moon.
- You can get anything from your team by using radical candor. This will inspire teams to do their best.
What are the next steps for Ozonium?
For now, we will be reviewing and reflecting on the experiences we had with the students. And, of course, put in practice those relevant things pointed out in their reports.
