Four case studies, in more depth

01 Beamer Bridge brainbot Built the growth team and L2 partnerships for a cross-chain bridge. GTM Ecosystem Partnerships Activation Product feedback

L2-to-L2 liquidity bridge on a request-and-fulfillment model.

Built and led a 5-person growth team and owned GTM for every chain launch with major rollups. Market analysis and positioning with the founders. L2 partnerships and co-marketing, incl. joint X Spaces, with Arbitrum, Optimism, LI.FI, Boba, Polygon and Gelato. Moved LP onboarding from high- to low-touch, cutting activation cost, tracked through funnel analytics and dashboards. Set up product feedback loops that fed into engineering's priorities.

02 Decentra Ran marketing with AI agents and built the B2B pipeline for a web3 and AI dev studio. Agent orchestration Value proposition Lead gen Outreach

Web3 and AI development studio: senior engineers and auditors for protocol, DeFi and dApp teams.

Marketing came first: built and ran an AI agent swarm as the marketing team, designing its workflows, curated agent memory and self-checks against set criteria, with run reports for fast human review. Reframed the value proposition around security, audits, AI and automation, and updated the website with the designer. Also ran ecosystem partnerships and built the B2B pipeline, leading lead gen and outbound.

03 Raiden Network brainbot Optimized the product and developer onboarding for a P2P payments network. Onboarding UX/UI testing Product activation DevRel

Off-chain payment channel network on Ethereum, the equivalent of Bitcoin's Lightning Network.

Redesigned the developer onboarding together with Engineering, backed by proactive support SLAs and internal documentation. Developer support and docs: RPC and SDK setup guides, node deployment tutorials and hands-on help.

04 LUKSO Built marketing, BD and a 5-person growth team from zero for a new L1. EVM L1 BD Team scaling Marketing

EVM L1 first built for brands and digital identity, now a chain for creators and culture.

Built the growth function from zero, hiring and leading a 5-person team. Owned marketing and BD in the formative phase: refined the value proposition and supported the founder on partnerships with fashion houses and web3 protocols, incl. LUKSO's first live use case at Helsinki Fashion Week. Ran the community. Built internal support processes for faster resolution, with KPIs tracked in Google Analytics and related tools.
