    I am a very senior professional with a diverse background that is probably unusual for this site. I am on Upwork because I am semi-retired and I enjoy helping people with their projects and giving general business support and advice. My experience includes being a university professor, a small tech business owner, a senior advisor in the U.S. government, and a business consultant focused on startup strategy, research fundraising, and Federal and state resources. You can learn more about my background from my LinkedIn profile, just search for James Kadtke Ph.D. Here are some of the skills I bring to the table: -- Superb research skills (including scientific) for a wide range of subject areas. I can research a topic, synthesize the material, and write concise summaries or more elaborate documents -- Excellent writing skills: I have over 80 peer-reviewed publications, and have contributed to countless other reports for the government, businesses, think tanks, and popular media. You can review some of my work at Researchgate under the profile James Kadtke or simply Google search my name. -- Extensive expertise in running and growing a business and finding funding and other resources; I often consult for startups on strategy -- Extensive experience in government and politics, and how to engage with agencies and leadership, so I can craft or review written materials for sensitivity and relevance -- Superb computer and social media skills -- I have been an independent consultant or contractor for nearly 30 years so I am quite comfortable performing on contracts and I strive hard to deliver the best products within time and cost requirements I think you will find that my hourly rate published here is well below most consultants with comparable skills. I am also always willing to negotiate costs to fit within a client's budget.

    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 🙂.

    Investor-Ready Business Plans/Financial Models/Pitch Decks/Cap Tables As a corporate CFO, Wall Street banker, Director of Equity Research and senior commercial bank lender who has worked in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America, I have extensive experience with funding for companies in a wide variety of industries. I know what a serious professional or angel investor, commercial bank or other funder will require in a complete investor presentation or business plan before they will seriously consider providing you with the money you need to build your business. In close collaboration with you I will create any of these documents and the financial forecasting/budgeting tools you, your investors or your banker require. (A due diligence review by an angel investor group of a recent client's application package said it was "...one of the few combinations of documents that we reviewed from a potential client where all components of a well thought out business model were present.") I will build your customized Microsoft Excel-based financial model using my very robust and fully customizable proprietary template. This template, developed over many years of real world use, helps assure your own unique forecast's accuracy while also saving you significant time and money in development. (If you don't have access to Microsoft Office applications, please let me know. I do not create Google documents, though I am happy to use them as sources of information.) When your financial model is complete, you will be able to change any assumption in the Model and the effects of that change will instantly flow throughout all elements of the Model. Any user can easily test all of the financial effects of any assumptions about revenue, profit margins, unit sales, pricing, operating expenses, fixed assets, equity and debt. You or your investor/banker can use the model to easily do unlimited "What If?" testing, sensitivity analysis or breakeven analysis. For the text and graphics (charts, pictures, tables, etc.) in your plan, presentation or pitch deck I will use Microsoft Office software. (If you need specific advanced graphic skills for your document(s), you will need to hire a specialist graphics person.) Typically, the time needed to complete a detailed corporate financial model for one product in one market is about 18 - 20 work hours (add 10% - 25% for multiple products or services, multiple target customer groups, various complexities, etc.). A full business plan or investor presentation comprising 15 – 25 pages of text and graphics typically requires an additional 15 - 25 hours of work over three to six weeks to create, depending on how quickly you can respond to my daily questions during the project, the complexity of your business, how much text you add to the business plan versus how much original text I have to create, etc. If you are planning to create a new company whose industry you have no experience in, the time required for completion will typically be greater than for an established company with existing operations. I can begin work on your project as soon as you wish or once your payment method is verified by Upwork, whichever is sooner. If you would like me to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), that is not a problem. If you need a pitch deck, that will flow easily once your business plan or investor presentation is complete. My basic average hourly rate is $89 /hr., depending on the complexity of the work required. Minimum Charges: Per Project - 4.0 hours; Per Work Session: 10 minutes. Premium for urgent completion (10 business days or less): 50%, 48-hour Rush Projects: 100% premium. I do not typically work on a fixed price basis for these documents for start-ups due to the uncertainty in regards to how much work will be required. All of my work time, including all phone or Zoom conversations with you regarding your project, will be tracked by Upwork's software and reported to you by Upwork each Monday. If you are not well-versed in finance or accounting, I will be happy to explain everything to you as we go. That will be very important to your effort to raise money, as your banker or investor(s) will require that you fully understand the details of your business planning. I am committed to your complete satisfaction and will gladly make minor changes to my work within 14 calendar days of completion and closure of the project on Upwork at no additional cost to you. So, let's talk! I am usually in the US Eastern time zone and available to discuss your project at your convenience. I'm happy to have an initial consultation at no cost to you.

I write to give perspective so that you can be empowered no matter the project's form. By learning about accounting, banking, finance, web 3, and other tech advancements, I help you and your readers to see the forest while walking amongst the trees.

It serves the individual in ways not imagined by entrenched financial lawmakers, owners, founders, and managers.

    “In order to build conviction, we rely on founders to tell us a compelling story, almost always in the form of slides.

    Hi! I'm a partner at an early stage accelerator and VC in New York City and have been working with startups for the last 7 years. I reviewed 1000s of decks and advised 100s of early stage founders on fundraising. As a VC professional I have a deep understanding how to approach VC fundraising, what makes a perfect pitch deck, what investors look for (and what are the red flags). Here is how I can help you: 💼 OPTIMIZE YOUR PITCH DECK FOR FUNDRAISING It's my personal pain point when I see the deck that's disorganized and doesn't present the company clearly at first glance. You got investor's attention for 10 seconds and you need to get them interested to learn more and schedule a meeting. Invest in your deck to increase investor replies. 🤓1. DYI Pitch Deck consulting + design As the driving force behind your company, your insight is unparalleled. The most impactful pitch decks are born from a founder's genuine passion for the business and the problem they are solving. However, professional assistance can be invaluable in structuring your deck to meet VC standards and ensuring your presentation truly stands out. How it will work: - You work on your own slides content - We have 2-4 calls to go through the content and refine it - Fundraising strategy advise (valuation, terms, use of funds etc) - I can take care of design too, if needed Format/pricing: hourly calls / coaching $350 fee for pitch deck design, if needed 😎2. Pitch Deck Writing + Design You can also outsource your pitch deck to me. I'll transform your presentation draft or business plan into an investor-ready pitch deck. This will include: - Creating slides content (12-15 slides) - Fundraising strategy advise (valuation, terms, use of funds etc) - Design that works with the content highlighting key info - 3-4 calls (initial call and 2 draft reviews) Format/pricing: $1500 flat-fee or hourly rate 🤩 FUNDRAISING CONSULTING Early stage startup fundraising is always a numbers game. You need to reach out to hundreds of potential investors and build consistent communication strategy with them over time in order to close the round in, on average, 3-6 months. I can provide you with comprehensive support, feedback and guidance throughout your fundraising journey. I can advise you on anything fundraising related, including: - how much money to raise and at what valuation - financial projections and what "makes sense" - building investor funnel - investor mock interviews - effective investor communications - Term Sheet negotiations - creating Data Room and Due Diligence preparation If you need a VC perspective on your deck before pitching or want to supercharge your fundraising, I'm here to help.

    My name is Matt. I am based out of Minneapolis, MN. I can accommodate any time zone as you need. I have started and scaled multiple businesses in different industries to millions of dollars in sales profitably. I own and operate businesses in 5 different states managing 100+ employees. I have been successful in my endeavors because I understand the importance of systems & processes. Over the past 5 years I have focused much of my business consulting on startups. I love helping bootstrapped founders / business owners launch their products, services & business by identifying founder goals, building business plans, go to market strategies, processes & systems that support the founders goals. I often find myself coaching entrepreneurs on all areas of their business & how to build a more effective, efficient & PROFITABLE business. My Resume: I have dedicated both my personal and professional life to helping others live with intent. For the past 20 years, I have built and managed multiple businesses that do just that. Through a portfolio of companies, I create opportunities that promote self-discovery and enable our customers to experience emotion. Born into a family of entrepreneurs, I founded my first company while I was still in high school. Since then, I have repeatedly identified new opportunities and moved quickly to build the organizations, products, and resources to open new markets and create meaningful impact. Regardless of the industry-from professional sports to escape rooms-my teams and I work every day to create a world in which we want to live, one filled with intent. Career highlights: ➜ Pioneered a cutting-edge product and service strategy that developed an adventure park into the area’s top-ranked destination for experience-based entertainment. ➜ Launched and led a business that became the nation’s third-largest escape room company. ➜ Established company that became the official statistics provider to two professional sports leagues. Underpinning my successes is my ability to create winning marketing strategies that fuel rapid growth. By fully understanding the market and target customers, I create resource-light and high-ROI growth marketing campaigns across digital and traditional channels. Further, by creating a culture that encourages personal and professional growth, I surround myself with employees that go the extra mile for our customers, our co-workers, and ourselves.

    I am what you call "JACK of all TRADES". I previously worked as a Customer Service Rep for more than 10 years for different Lines Of Business like Banking, Medical, Telco, and Insurance. I also became a BPO supervisor for 3 years and then shifted to become a freelancer. When I started freelancing, I've been working closely with crypto-related/ICOs and retail companies working as a DIGITAL MARKETER, MODERATION, COMMUNITY MANAGER, GROWTH HACKER, and MARKETING CONSULTANT. I had the opportunity to work as a creative writer for two years along with that, I wrote extensive reviews for upcoming ICOs and profitable crypto platforms. I mostly plan out marketing and social media contents/strategies for different clients. I am very familiar with the different social media communities like steemit, medium, discord, reddit, facebook, twitter and bitcointalk. If you are looking for a reliable and organized Customer Service Rep or a creative DIGITAL marketer then I am the best person who can help you out. Just shoot me a message.
