True or False  (but why?)

42% of companies scrapped their AI projects this year, a sharp rise from 17% last year. 

This highlights a trend in project initiation and abandonment.

You built the expertise. I’ll build the audience. | Making executives impossible to ignore | Owner of @DirectSourceAI | Top 4% on LI

Chasing trends feels like momentum, but it’s often just distraction. 

Real influence comes from aligning your content with your core principles and the challenges your audience actually faces. 

Write less about what’s new — write more about what works. That’s how you build lasting influence.

Most professionals don’t lack expertise — they lack visibility.

 What sets leaders apart isn’t talent, it’s the willingness to show their work consistently.

 If your peers know you’re good but the market doesn’t, you don’t have a skill problem — you have an exposure problem.

 Fix that, and everything else moves with it.

Reputation used to spread by word-of-mouth.

 Today it spreads by what people see you say and watch you do online.
 A strong reputation can shorten sales cycles, open doors you didn’t knock on, and attract opportunities you never pitched.

 It’s the most valuable asset you’ll build in your career — treat it that way.

Everyone talks about posting more — but the real win isn’t frequency, it’s depth. 

Shares that teach something, comments that spark conversations, and insights that only you could write are the currency of trust. 

When your posts feel like consulting instead of noise, LinkedIn stops being a platform and starts being a pipeline.

The Silent Crisis in AI: Thousands of Abandoned Projects—And the Opportunity They Create

The AI boom has unleashed a wave of innovation unlike anything we’ve seen in decades. New tools, models, automations, dashboards, and micro-SaaS ideas appear every single day. Yet behind the excitement lies a growing and often overlooked reality: an enormous number of AI projects are abandoned before they ever reach their potential.

Developers and founders worldwide have half-finished tools sitting in private repos, early-stage agents left untouched for months, and powerful ideas trapped at 70% completion. Not because the creators lack skill—far from it—but because life, timing, resources, get in the way.
This phenomenon has quietly become one of the most significant missed opportunities in today’s AI landscape.
The truth is clear: AI creators don’t have the time, structure, or business support to finish, package, and monetize what they’ve built. 

Unfinished Doesn’t Mean Unvaluable
Most abandoned AI tools already contain tremendous value:
Functioning back-end logic
Niche use-cases with real market demand
Core automation workflows
Working models needing only refinement
Tools that solve problems founders originally built just for themselves
These aren’t failures. They’re assets waiting for direction, structure, and representation.

Finishing an AI project requires more than code. It requires:
Positioning
Market alignment
Business modeling
Packaging
Messaging
Strategic buyer outreach
And that’s exactly where I come in.

Where I Fit Into This Hidden Market
I work directly with AI developers, founders, and technical creators to help them complete, position, and potentially sell or scale their unfinished projects. With my background in business consulting, operations, PR, valuation strategy, and developer outreach, I act as the bridge between raw innovation and commercial opportunity.

Most creators don’t need more hours in the day—they need someone who can:
Evaluate what they’ve built
Identify the fastest path to completion
Determine its market value
Package the project professionally
Help secure users, buyers, or partners
Increase visibility and credibility
Guide the project toward real-world traction

AI creators shouldn’t feel stuck or overwhelmed. With the right support, these tools can move from abandoned to acquired, from good ideas to revenue-producing assets.

The Market Is Ready—But Developers Need a Partner
Businesses want AI solutions now. They aren’t waiting for perfection; they’re waiting for functionality. If your tool solves a problem, even partially, there is a market for it. Investors and operators are actively searching for projects they can revive and grow. That’s why this moment matters.The industry isn’t suffering from a lack of innovation.

If you're a developer or founder with an unfinished AI tool—or if you want help positioning a project for acquisition or strategic exposure—I’m here to help guide the process.

Burt Steingraeber

You’ll never “hack” your way to authority with one viral post. 

What works long-term is showing up with consistent, relevant insights that make your audience think differently. 

When people start saying “Finally someone who gets it,” that’s when momentum begins — even without paid tools.

Most buyers don’t like, comment, or engage.

 But they see your posts, read your insights, and form an opinion long before they reach out.

 This is why consistency matters — your silent audience is often your most valuable one.

 Speak to them even if you can’t see them.

AI is moving so fast that thousands of tools and projects get abandoned before they ever reach the market. 

Most are 60–90% finished and full of untapped value. I help developers and founders evaluate, position, and revive these assets—turning idle code into real opportunities and revenue. 

If you’ve built something but never finished it, I can help you bring it to the finish line.

I'm sure many people have used AI for holiday shopping suggestions.

According to an Associated Press poll, most Americans have noticed higher prices on everything from groceries to utilities, and they're planning to spend less this holiday season as a result.

Cash-strapped Americans turn to AI for holiday shopping help

People don’t buy services from strangers — they buy from people they feel they know. 

Real authority is built when your content feels like a conversation, not a sales pitch. Share challenges you’ve solved, decisions you’ve wrestled with, and lessons that changed how you work. 

That’s where real dialogue starts.

Luminary

The MSP channel speaks its own language—and after a decade of translating tech innovations into compelling stories, I created Luminary as a strategic partner for SaaS founders ready to be understood.

I'm not an agency selling deliverables. I'm an advisor who helps founders create straightforward go-to-market strategies that connect with MSP decision-makers. No vanity metrics or complex campaigns—just clear positioning and channel-focused tactics that drive real growth.

After years in this ecosystem, I've learned that MSPs have specific buying behaviors that generic marketing approaches simply don't address. The problem isn't your product—it's how you talk about it.

Whether you're launching, struggling with adoption, or scaling your MSP relationships, I'll help you simplify your narrative and develop a GTM strategy that speaks directly to this unique market.

The MSP channel speaks its own language and I've spent years learning its unique dialect to help SaaS founders get their message across. I created Luminary as a strategic partner for tech innovators who are ready to be understood in this specialized ecosystem.

I've watched brilliant SaaS startups struggle in the MSP space despite having rock-solid products. The issue wasn't their solution, but their story. MSPs don't buy fancy tech, they buy solutions to specific business problems. Without that translation, even groundbreaking platforms collect dust instead of customers.

With my background in building marketing strategies for MSP's and SaaS, I now help founders cut through the noise with messaging that actually connects. No jargon, no buzzwords, just clear narratives that move sales conversations forward. 

I specialize in three things that matter most to MSP-focused startups: crafting channel-friendly go-to-market strategies, developing growth plans that acknowledge the reality of partner relationships, and creating messaging that resonates with MSP owners who are juggling fifty other priorities.
Here's my simple offer: If MSPs aren't getting why your solution matters, I can help. No fillers, no BS, just messaging that actually converts.

Vanity metrics don't build companies. Impact and growth do.


After years in SaaS marketing, I’ve seen teams get lost in dashboards. Revenue goals. Chart after chart. Numbers everywhere.

But behind every number, there’s a person. A partner. A story.

Let's ask a few different questions:
• Did a client share a win?
• Did a referral come from genuine trust?
• Did someone say, “Now I get why you matter”?

Those moments count more than any spreadsheet.

Because real growth isn’t just about hitting targets. It’s about helping people and partners thrive. When you focus on impact, everything else follows.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
→ Stories matter. Referrals matter. Moments of connection matter.
→ Sustainable growth starts with serving others, not chasing numbers.
→ If your team and partners grow, your company grows.

I’ve watched SaaS founders struggle in the MSP channel. Not because their products failed, but because their story didn’t connect. The market wants solutions to real problems, not fancy dashboards.

If you lead a team, ask yourself:
• Are you measuring what matters?
• Are you building impact, or just counting wins?

I’m grateful to work with people who see past the numbers. Who care about the human side. Who build companies that last.

What’s your metric for real impact?
