Mentoring

There has never been a more intense time for me than when I was running a company (or two for a while). Each day brought new challenges: a valuable employee received an offer from a competitor, a client complained about the quality of our services, the structure of the company no longer suited the current challenges. A real rollercoaster. Every day I worked hard trying to come up with new solutions. Having no business experience, it often turned out that I was reinventing the wheel, not knowing that certain problems were solved in a certain way. I also missed looking from the side at what I was doing, catching some distance, enjoying what I had achieved and strategically facing what was ahead of me. I remember conversations with people who also ran a business and were more experienced, how much they opened a new perspective on the current struggles.

Today, after selling two companies, I offer business mentoring services to others. If you are a business owner, founder, entrepreneur, executive or manager in a tech- or science-based company I can help you navigate your challenges and achieve your full potential.

My mentoring services are designed to help you in various areas, including:

• unifying your company’s vision, strategy, and action plan among the stakeholders;

• formalizing arrangements in the form of a shareholders agreement; understanding vesting;

• developing your leadership skills as a CEO or board member; building company structure, culture, values, and purpose; designing processes and OKRs;

• managing hiring, onboarding, and letting people go; building a fair and rewarding compensation package and ESOP;

• building and running a technical team;

• raising funds from pitch deck to exit strategy;

• building an acquisition-ready company, preparing for the due-diligence process, and managing internal and external communication related to acquisition;

• achieving work-life balance and impact.

I provide one-on-one or group mentoring sessions tailored to your specific needs and goals. We can arrange a meeting in person or over a conference call. Additionally, we can arrange a longer-form workshop, go for a hike together, or we can meet at Farmia. I draw on my experience and knowledge to offer practical advice and guidance that can help you achieve your goals.

I had the privilege of working with Jakub when he generously offered to advise me during the EthWorks acquisition by TrustToken. I was thrilled to have Jakub's expertise and guidance during this complex and challenging process, and his invaluable advice proved to be instrumental in the acquisition's success.
