From AI strategy

No consulting bullshit.

Szymon Paluch
I co-founded Riot Agency, a digital agency later acquired by Diagnostyka, Poland's largest lab network.
At uPacjenta I was CTO and helped build the telehealth platform and its in-house tech team.
At Golem Network, as Head of Strategy & Product, I led strategy and positioning for decentralised compute for AI and worked alongside the CPO and CTO on product direction.
Now I help funded startups and enterprises ship AI without the consulting bullshit.

What is “we’re still
testing it” AI costing you?
No salesperson, no slides. You walk me through the problem and I tell you straight: whether I have a sensible way to solve it, what it really costs, and whether it's even worth it. If it's not for me, you'll hear that in the same call, with a pointer on where to look.
