Your opportunities for growth may lie in product design, marketing, partnerships, operations...
You need to understand growth marketing, tech & product strategy first.
Combine it with experience from running your own business, sales, recruiting & managing people.
That's about what it takes - and what I do.
I am currently at the stage of my life when I enjoy helping companies grow.
This can be as a contractor, employee or through my agency.
Do you think I could help you?

As somebody obsessed with innovation, I can't express well enough how much it pains me to see numerous founders falling victims to lame agencies.
No great ideas should fail due to poor marketing.
This inspired me to start Growth Generals - an elite network of specialists in respective fields that power the growth of some of the world's most innovative companies.
We use proven methods from successful startups to discover, accelerate and incubate new business growth.
⚠️WARNING
There is a waiting time of ~2 months for most of the services at the moment. If you feel that you have an interesting project however, reach out to me directly.

Fixed costs & overheads are a killer. Distributed teams are the future. Best silicon valley startups are realising it. NASA partially operates that way.
You should consider it, too.
Agencies are expensive, freelancers are unreliable and in-house hires not necessary to complete most of the small tasks like logos, blog writing, website or brochure design.
So how do you successfully outsource marketing tasks?
You have to create an exact step-by-step blueprint to follow and make freelancers go through a quality checklist.
Over the years, me & my partners have developed blueprints and tested over a 1000 subcontractors on various marketing & design tasks using our own money.
There is currently no smart way to tap into this list, but I am planning to create a packaged service with quality guarantees & unlimited revisions some time next year.
If you are my growth consulting client, I obviously facilitate intros where necessary. 😊
I believe in providing value and made a pledge to make all of my tools, frameworks and blueprints publicly available.
In the end - they are no secret, it’s about what you do with them.

⌛I am still working on putting our branding on them & getting them time-stamped by a 3rd party as people have a tendency to be copycats...hold tight.
If you really need any of this now, email me, I will forward it to you.
Me and my brother gave away our toys from childhood to kids in the suburbs of HCMC.

I am working on collecting interesting viewpoints & guides to help young people navigate their 7 formative years and prevent quarter-life crisis from happening.
These are the years between 18 to 25 and they apparently have the greatest impact on how 'successful' the person will be in their life.
I occasionally speak on the topic at universities, lately I have also hosted ~30 students of Ukrainian Leadership Academy in our office to exchange ideas & experience.
I am an active evangelist of programs that are changing the education game.
Long gone are the times when you had to go to university to get a job.
There are alternative ways to acquire skills employers are looking for, especially in sales / marketing / tech.
