A new kind of consultancy

For too long, tier-1 strategic thinking and an experienced outside perspective have been reserved for companies that can afford tier-1 fees. Large corporates have always had senior strategic minds on retainer. Raremind.co exists to change that.

Raremind.co is a new style of consultancy. One flat monthly fee gives founders and small teams access to a senior operator with almost 20 years of experience across five continents — for calls, deliverables, and everything in between. No contracts, no scoping debates, no bill shock. Just clear thinking when you need it most.

Built on real decisions, not frameworks

I spent almost 20 years inside the rooms where hard product and strategy calls get made. From Vodafone and ADTRAN to startups in Taiwan, I've sat on all sides of the table — engineering, product and client-facing — across 17 markets, five continents, and industries from telecoms to clean energy to Web3.

I have written code, industry standards, architecture documents, product strategies, GTM plans, business cases, budgets, innovation memos, capex/opex saving recommendations and board presentations.

And in all that time, one thing stayed constant. The moments that mattered most were rarely the ones with the biggest budgets or the most support. They were the ones where you needed an honest outside perspective and there was no obvious way to get one. The consulting firm quote came back too high, too slow, or too broad. The team around you was brilliant but too close to the problem. You just needed someone who had been there before to pressure-test the thinking.

I built Raremind.co because I was that person on the inside, wishing there was someone like this on the outside. Real operating experience, no agenda, and the tools to back up recommendations with data rather than theory.

That is what every Raremind.co engagement is built on.

What makes Raremind.co different

We have been where you are We are seasoned operators, not career advisors. We have made the impossible calls and lived with the decisions that keep you up at night.

We will not waste your time No onboarding theatre, no scoping debates, no status calls you did not ask for. You make the request, we get to work.

We are on your side, structurally Traditional consultants get paid more when engagements run longer. Our flat fee means our only incentive is to be useful — fast.

AI made us 10x more efficient That efficiency goes straight to you. Tier-1 consulting output no longer has to come with a tier-1 price tag.

The complete offer

Raremind.co is not an async document service. It is a complete consulting engagement, packaged differently.

Your monthly subscription gives you access to:

A senior operator available for regular 1:1 calls, strategic input, and concrete deliverables — all with a 48-hour turnaround. You submit a request, we get to work. When it is done, you submit the next one. Calls count as requests, which means a typical client gets a mix of structured 1:1 time and written deliverables every month, without ever seeing a separate invoice.

Raremind.co works with a small number of clients at any time to ensure every engagement gets the attention it deserves.

Product — PRD, user interview guide, synthetic user interviews, product strategy, roadmap, feature prioritisation framework, product review

When Raremind.co works best

Raremind.co is built for the moments that matter, when you need an honest outside perspective and input, not more content from the echo chamber.

You are about to make a decision you cannot easily reverse A new market, a key hire, a platform choice, a pricing model. You need a structured second opinion before you commit, not a six-week engagement.

Your strategy looks fine on paper but falls apart in practice You have a plan. It is logical. But something is not connecting between the slide deck and what is actually happening. You need someone to find the gap.

You are fundraising or pitching and the materials are not landing Your deck, business plan, or proposal is not getting the response it should. You need experienced eyes that know what investors and partners actually look for.

You are moving into a new market and need rapid orientation New geography, new segment, new channel. You need fast, synthesised research and a clear view of what you are walking into before you spend the budget.

You have a board meeting, investor update, or key presentation coming up The stakes are high and the prep time is short. You need structured input on your narrative, your numbers, and your positioning.

You are building something real but do not have a senior strategic brain on the team yet You are pre-hire or between hires. The decisions keep coming and there is no one internally to pressure-test them with.

How AI fits into this

AI has made us 10x more efficient. That efficiency is passed directly to you.

At Raremind.co, AI is a tool, not the product. It is used to accelerate research, compare options, structure information, and generate first-pass analysis. But AI alone produces generic output. Without context, judgment, and real operating experience behind it, fast becomes shallow.

Every Raremind.co deliverable is shaped by a business lens built over almost 20 years. What actually matters. What to prioritise. What trade-offs exist. What to do next. That is where the value is.

A final note

Businesses thrive when a multitude of expertise and experience comes together around a common goal. A luxury that has always been reserved for those with deep pockets.

Raremind.co exists to fix that.

If any of this sounds like your next 90 days, an intro call costs nothing.
