    As an operational consultant, my job is to make your life easier and your business run smoothly. I learn your industry and company's uniqueness to help you identify the foundational business structures to increase your efficiency and automate menial tasks. I will work with you and your team to uncover sources of friction and implement processes and technical solutions. All solutions will be shaped to you, your current and potential future team. All processes will be maintainable, measurable and provide your team insight for the future. I have experience partnering with companies across diverse industries. I have recently worked in the consumer goods, software, marketing, training, law, real estate, manufacturing and non-profit industries. The first step is to break down your company or issue into its foundational parts through an Operational Audit. The audit allows us to understand how you adapted the foundational parts, the dials you can access to make a change, and their effect on your business. Through interviews, process investigation, operational research, and financial review, we will learn and document your systems and resources. This analysis will be the guidance to prioritize the operational work. Project management tools such as Asana, Monday, and Clickup have become the foundational tools for remote work and working with talented, geographically diverse teams. I help your team set up tools like these to fit your organization's culture now, grow with you in the future, and integrate with the rest of your tools and systems. By training, I am a rocket scientist and systems engineer. I have had the privilege of working on some of the world's most complex engineering systems throughout my career. I apply this experience to every problem. These principles of systems engineering will guide me as I analyze your organization. By focusing on the core of the business, I can quickly learn about your industry and product. My career has exposed me to the operations of companies from two employees up to 100,000. I have managed a 55 million dollar division with 150 employees and the day-to-day of my entrepreneurial ventures. I am an extremely quick study, love to learn, candid, open, and self-aware. These things, combined with my diverse experience, allow me to provide straightforward, rapid results in any industry.

    Bringing an invention to market the traditional way can feel like climbing Everest without a guide—steep, risky, and with no guarantee you'll reach the summit. The path is riddled with challenges: navigating manufacturing logistics, building a distribution network, launching marketing campaigns, and managing the endless details that can trip up even the most brilliant ideas. It's no wonder so many promising inventions never make it to market. But here’s the good news: there’s a smarter, faster way to turn your invention into a market success. It’s called licensing. Licensing flips the script. Instead of shouldering all the weight yourself, you partner with established companies that already have the resources, expertise, and market reach. You bring the innovation; they bring the muscle. And you both win—while you collect royalties and watch your invention make an impact in the world. That’s where I come in. I’m here to help you navigate the licensing landscape, identify the perfect partners, and negotiate deals that work in your favor. With my expertise, you won’t just explore licensing—you’ll master it. Whether you’re an inventor just starting out or a seasoned entrepreneur ready to take your ideas to the next level, I’ll help you fast-track your success without the endless headaches and costs of going it alone. Let’s transform your vision into a reality—one that pays off in more ways than one. What is Licensing? + An established company handles manufacturing, distribution, and sales on your behalf. + You receive royalties for each unit sold, providing a steady income stream. + The company essentially 'rents' your idea, while you retain full ownership of it. Benefits of Licensing? + Reduced effort and involvement. + Lower costs and financial risk. + Quicker entry to the market. + Faster path to earning income. What Needs to Be Done? + File the necessary intellectual property protections. + Develop compelling marketing materials. + Pitch your idea to companies actively seeking new products. How Do I Find Companies? + As a premium member of MarketBlast, I have access to hundreds of multinational companies, including billion-dollar corporations, all actively seeking new ideas and ready to market your invention effectively. + With years of experience in pitching, I know where to find companies eager for new products and understand the licensing industry inside and out. + I've built extensive lists of companies in various industries, such as toys and kitchen tools, that are specifically interested in collaborating with inventors. What services do I provide? + Patents + Trademarks + Generating ideas and concepts + Product Design + Product Development + 3D CAD models + 3D Animations + Pitch Videos + Prototypes + Market Research + Pitching to companies Licensing allows you to focus on what you love most—creating and innovating—without the burden of running a business. By partnering with established companies, you can avoid the complexities of manufacturing, distribution, and sales, leaving you free to generate new ideas while still earning from your creations.

Let me help you find your mojo! I am a Top Rated Plus Business Coach on Upwork with 100% satisfaction score, contact me today! ⚡︎I can help you if you are struggling with these challenges: ● "I have no idea on how to get started with my startup" ● "Life has been chaotic and I need to get clear on my direction " ● "I don't have the energy or motivation right now to grow my business" ● "I want to get to the next level and I am not sure how to get there" ● "I'm starting a new chapter in my life and I need someone to hold me accountable" ● "HELP! I'm overwhelmed and I don't know what to do next" I focus on working with entrepreneurs with startups or small businesses. The process: Who are you? You are the main factor in your success. Why should your business exist? A purpose. How do you do things? Something that makes you unique. What do you offer? Your product or service. All success revolves around the answers to these four questions. All failure comes from a lack of understanding these questions. This is my method. It does not matter if you are a startup or an existing business, this is the core of your work and journey. A client had dozens of business ideas, I helped him launch just one. A client stopped chasing 3 different startups and now is an executive in a new business. One client grew from 5 to 50 employees in just two years. Let's get on a call today!

    Hey 👋🏼, I’m Sam and I can help you streamline your day to day processes and workflows by helping you develop and put in place custom software for your organisation or project. I work with flexible, “no code” platforms. Most commonly Airtable, Zapier and Stacker alongside any additional specific software/apps you might need to keep or add for your specific use case. My experience enables me to take a balanced pragmatic, technical and commercial approach to new projects. I’m very happy to respond to a brief, but equally happy to advise based on your requirements. Some examples of recent projects I’ve delivered include; • 📸 A content moderation app for a small team within a global hospitality business enabling content publishers to review, moderate and publish new content across various channels. This included integration to a number of content sources and to a website content management system. • 🌏  A booking management app for a luxury vehicle hire company who needed to adapt their processes in response to the Health Emergency. They needed to take the process of managing bookings online, including vehicle checks and driver verification. This included a customer portal where drivers could upload documentation and an integration to Yoti; an online identity verification service. • 💥 A business-management app, enabling a small business working in events and exhibition who after having trialed more than six CRM apps were tired and fed-up of having to adjust their processes to fit the software they were using. We helped them build a simple, yet effective app which managed client contacts, client organisations, suppliers, purchase orders, venues and client projects. This included integrations with Xero and PandaDoc to streamline the process of creating proposals, invoices and contracts saving time and reducing errors. The main benefits of working with me are: • I will help choose an appropriate and efficient software stack. Where possible, consolidating the number of apps in use; reducing complexity and saving money. • I ensure the apps that are being used talk to each other. Reducing the time you spend copying and pasting, keeping your data up to date and where it needs to be, automatically. • I’ll help you save time and reduce human error by automating repetitive tasks or creating buttons so they can be triggered in just one click. • I’m also very familiar with common security and privacy best practice and concerns (E.G The GDPR, CCPA, ISO 27001); I’ll give due consideration to help ensure any data you’re working with remains safe and secure. I’m flexible and happy to work on new and existing systems. My process typically involves: • Understanding & learning: I’ll listen and learn about your organisation, what you’re doing already and what you want to achieve and improve. Having a clear understanding is key to delivering something that’s valuable and useful. • Proposal: I’ll clearly outline options on how we can move forward, if we’re working with tools I’m less familiar with or we’re doing anything particularly new I often like to do some testing at this point. I sometimes will also create a ‘proof of concept’ or a ‘mockup’ to show you what you’ll be getting and how it’ll work. I’ll outline costs and an estimate of time required and if you’re happy, we’ll proceed on to the next stage. • Build and/or Coaching: With your approval and any feedback from the previous stages, you’ll then have two options to build your app. I can either take care of the build for you, putting together documentation sharing progress as I go. Alternatively we can arrange remote sessions where we work together to build your app, especially useful if you want to retain complete control and complete understanding of your app and/or you want to learn new skills and techniques. With both options we’ll ensure documentation is created as we go so that any future changes, development and iterations can be made easily without the fear of breaking something. • Testing & Release - Once we’re ready, we’ll release your app ready for you to test. I’ll be on hand to listen to your feedback and make any required tweaks or support you in making them. • Learning & Iterating - As you and your team / clients use your app and as your organisation and the world evolves, I’d expect that your needs will evolve accordingly. I’ll be on hand to help you to continue to develop your app where required or in supporting you in doing so. I work with a small team in order to ensure that projects are consistently delivered on time and to the expected high standard, I’m also happy to work with clients in different time zones (I already support clients in North America). Please do feel free to get in touch and ask questions, I’m always happy to chat about new projects 🙂.

Artificial intelligence. 2. Cryptocurrency. 3. Blockchain. 4. Fintech - Digitaloans, Digital banking etc 5. Renewable energy - PPP, Private projects, Public projects, and Home installation. 6.

    -Top 1% web and mobile app designer and developer by Upwork -My clients apps have raised $250M+ USD and made it to Frobes -Trusted by Harvard, Yamaha, UC Berkeley & Samsung -100+ 5-star reviews across different platforms (UpWork, Clutch, Yelp) -#1 in San Francisco for web & app development by The Manifest & Expertise.com Do you have a great idea for a web or mobile app but not sure where to start? I’m looking to help 3 entrepreneurs a month in launching their web & mobile apps. If we are a good fit for one another, I’ll create a FREE Launch Deck for your idea, laying the foundation to bring it to life! I’m Marcos. I’ve been in your shoes. About a decade ago I launched my startup called SchooLinks with no tech background. I hired the wrong freelancers, used the wrong tech stack, and made many other expensive mistakes along the way. It was a nightmare to say the least. I learnt that "cheap" can be expensive. While anyone can design or code, very few can create products that not only scale but also remain stable over time. This is especially critical when developing MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) and POCs (Proof of Concepts), where the right approach can make the difference between success and costly failure. After 2 years, I was able to finally launch SchooLinks. It has raised over $10 MM USD and became the industry leader of its category. I learnt to design, code and went back to school at UC Berkeley, where I became the VP of Technology for Entrepreneurial Association. During my time there, I helped dozens of startups launch their apps! This experience led me to want to help other fellow entrepreneurs and business owners to avoid the expensive mistakes I made. As a result, my clients have raised over $250 MM USD with web and mobile apps I helped them launch. You can count on me being upfront when I don’t think we are a good fit and point you in the right direction. I believe this has led me to be on the top 1% on UpWork and have over 100+ 5-star reviews across different platforms (UpWork, Clutch, Yelp). My preferred tech stack includes: Figma, Flutter, NodeJS, Angular, AWS & MongoDB. I also have solid experience integrating API’s, including Stripe, ChatGTP and Twilio.
