🐗 Giacomo Balli, MBA — CEO
I help non-technical founders and SMB owners avoid wasting money on the wrong product build. Most teams start with code. The winners start with clarity: what to build, what to skip, and how to ship a testable MVP. What I do: • Turn your idea into a buildable MVP plan (scope, flows, stack, milestones) • Pressure-test assumptions before you spend real money • Guide your devs so the code you pay for actually matters (I am not a dev shop) Typical outcomes: • MVP scope reduced without losing the core value • Fewer rebuilds and fewer “stuck” weeks • Faster decisions on native vs hybrid, subscription vs credits, pricing, and rollout How I work: Monthly advisory retainer (3-month minimum). Unlimited async access plus regular calls. I plug in as your behind-the-scenes product + mobile lead. If you are about to hire a dev shop, or your build is drifting, message me with: 1. what you are building 2. who it is for 3. what success looks like in 90 days
