I turn hidden value into revenue in 5–12 weeks

Signs you have hidden value
No ongoing customer experiments
Projects ask for more than they return
Your mission is not visible in what you sell
You have unmonetized data, IP, or other assets
Declining or flat revenue

Process

Each project uses a mix of these elements. The order depends on the situation, but the goal is always the same: get in front of a real buyer as fast as possible.

I usually work on the first mile, where an idea meets the market. Once the revenue model is validated, I hand it over to your team. We can agree on other arrangements.

Market and context analysis
Offer framing or reframing
Identifying the right buyer and use case
Customer conversations and testing
Demo or prototype, if needed
Closing first pilots or deals

Pricing

€15,000
To start
€20,000
Success fee — Success fee only if agreed results are validated, with €100k+ annual impact as baseline
Validation means real customer demand, pilot buyers or signed clients.

No juniors. No agency overhead. I work independently, using tools and methods built for speed. If integration with your team is needed, we define it upfront.

Why me?

I grew up in Soviet Estonia. In that world, nothing was handed out ready. If you wanted something, you figured out how to build it, from the clothes you wore to the food you ate.

That creates a certain mindset: creative, economical, and used to working with limited resources. It's never about how much you have, but how you use it.

I took the operator mindset into a design degree in Helsinki and spent years in international R&D across the EU, India, and China.

But everywhere I went, I felt design was pushed into a decorative layer.

That pulled me into the parts of the business where ideas meet reality, fixing what blocks revenue, and deciding what is worth focusing on.

Across companies and countries, I keep seeing the same patterns:

Amazing missions that are never fully commercialized
Accepting stuck revenue, despite sitting on an unbelievable set of resources
Products, services, or IP built without considering how they will sell
Thinking in processes and actions instead of value

The good thing is, all of that can be changed. It's rarely easy and not always pleasant. But it is good fun.
