Q: You just closed $30m, what was the valuation?
A: 

Reaction in screenshot below :)

Amanda Kahlow is already well known for founding 6sense

She just told me she has customers paying her $400k/yr for her AI Sales Bots (Mindy!)

... Just 18 months after launch.

Firms like Hubspot pay her to replace sales reps

Friends like Jacco van der Kooij cloned himself using Amanda's new tool 1mind

Really enjoyed this one. Interview coming out shortly.

CEO @ Founderpath (I invest in companies)

If you're a founder raising debt to grow and keep equity: SMART

Google issuing 100 year bond:

Hi 👋 My name is Martin

As a management consultant, I built an Innovation Agency for a Big4 to 7 figures. I have consulted in nearly every industry, from disruptive Startups to fast-growing Scale-ups, B2C, B2B, and Enterprise SaaS, from The World Bank to Fortune500s, from shaping regulations in the US to implementing agile at a $60Bn revenue corporate, from designing battery tech spin-outs to medical tech IPO pitch decks.

If you are a scaleup CEO with annual revenues over 5 mUSD, feel free to reach out (DM) to discuss:

- Strategy execution
- Increasing margin play through revenueops (e.g. pricing) and cost optimization

I am an Entrepreneur (40%) and Management Consultant (60%).

As an entrepreneur, I run a portfolio of Life-enhancement apps (www.brightday.app), a digitally-driven Innovation Consulting and a stealth-mode climate startup. I do invest (1-2 deals per year) in exceptional early stage AI first and climate tech companies and I share pipeline with top tier VCs.

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as CEO at Onde!

Dozens of people are trying to sell me things every day on LinkedIn as CEO of a 10m ARR tech scaleup. Please do this if you want my attention:

I am fairly busy as you can imagine, so I am NOT going to jump on a 30 min with you for you to "get to know", demo, listen to me or viceversa, I am sorry, my time is highly prioritized to my customers and my team.

Tell me on a DM

- Who is your ideal customer, and how many you got so far on your books
- What is the problem you solve in 1 line
- Why the way you solve is 10x better than what your ICP does today
- How fast and easy you obtain results
- For example... customer A achieved X in 12 weeks
- It costs $5000

If it fits, Then we may schedule a call with the current head of my team

Stop wasting time, I will not answer to most DMs with "building relationship sales approach". 

Just Shoot an Offer

It is really fun to set up a new 10x Strategy and work alongside a great team of 150 people to disrupt mobility worldwide

Big news at Onde! 💜 

We’re excited to welcome Martin Gallardo as our new CEO. His approach is simple: listen carefully, act thoughtfully, and focus on delivering real value for our partners.

Looking ahead, we’re focused on improving our product and keeping communication clear and direct.

While leadership evolves, our commitment remains the same: we are fully dedicated to our partners’ success.

Thank you for your trust. We’re proud to keep building with you.

This week we got 2 acquisition offers for Onde this is why and how 👇🏼🥸🍾

I became CEO of a great business:

- Mission critical
software
- 150 domain experts 
- Profitable
- Bootstrapped
- 5-10 million rides a month
- Our Partners Outcompeting Uber in a couple of countries
- Exciting vertical on mobility

And apparently, this is the kind of hot sauce for PE firms, they come and

- Put a Professional CEO and CFO in place
- Segment, Pricing and Packaging
- Operational Excellence and Execution Discipline
- Good equity structure
- Selective cost optimization

and boom, deliver 40-60% growth in 2 years and pass it to the next PE

The problem is

We are rolling out a new 10x strategy tomorrow

that includes all of that and Innovation in ways PE firms can t imagine

We already got a Captain

We will be soon sailing fast

At Onde we are looking for a CFO to join our journey from ARR 10M to 100M
This is the role we are looking for, please distribute to your friends in Europe: 

Onde powers ride-hailing for 5-10 million trips a month across the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, US, Europe... We're profitable, bootstrapped, 150 people team mostly in Poland. Our finance function is solid. We don't need someone to build Excels or investor decks. You would likely leverage AI+me to get it done.

We need a CFO who thinks like a CEO.

What this role actually is:

You'll be a business builder first, financial leader second. Alongside your CFO responsibilities, you'll own the P&L for one of our new ventures — Onde Finance, our embedded financial services platform for drivers globally. 

What we expect:

- Scaled a tech company through the $10M–$100M ARR journey and know what breaks at each stage
- Built or scaled financial products — payments, wallets, lending, insurance 
- Navigated regulated industries with a Product Leg Growth Mode
- Structured and closed debt financing deals
- Sat close enough to product teams, designers, engineers to speak their language and push back when needed

We are flexible offering:
- Building the financial infrastructure that powers their livelihoods — instant payouts, driver wallets, EV financing, and more. The opportunity is enormous and largely untapped.
- Open to Fractional or B2B
- Finance team that is working good already
- Scaleup compensation with P&L linked bonuses
- Flexible remote work, from anywhere in Europe.

If you've built something real in fintech or payments, owned a P&L, and want a seat at the table where strategy meets execution — Connect and DM me or simply add your comment below and I ll follow up.

My first day as CEO I created 2 Slack Channels 👇 
- 10xMindset
- 1percentdailywins

Why?

At any given time we need to work on two things

- 10x is for just scouting for Ideas that make your team or workflow do 10x more with same resources, decreasing 90% costs, delivering 10x time more value to a customer, 10x change on the team KPI.

- 1% is to show the momemtum of small things that get implemented daily, and deliver value to our customers. Could be done in 20 min, must not an idea, already implemented outside of your normal backlog. You see it, take action, share it.

I still don t know what type of awards we should give, and how to choose winners and value of the award. Any ideas?

We spend 739,990 Euros a Year on this Tech Stack 👇 . Any of you runs a tool or service that can help us save +20% on any of these items? 🤑 💶 

As a CEO, one of my first tasks in my first 2 weeks was to go through all of our costs and try to optimize it. Apparently, there is not much slack on this stack, but well, the LinkedIn community is awesome, and maybe we find some gold here.
