Mentoring · Tech, AI & product building

Mentoring for building tech and AI products

The gap between "I have an idea" and "people are using it" is full of decisions that are cheap to get right early and expensive to fix later: what to build first, what to buy instead of build, where AI genuinely helps, and when good enough beats elegant. This session is a builder-to-builder working review of your project.

Sound familiar?

  • You keep rebuilding foundations instead of shipping features
  • AI tools are moving fast and you can't tell strategy from hype
  • You're technical but drowning in product decisions — or vice versa
  • The prototype works; making it a product feels like a different job entirely

What a session works on

  • Scoping a first version that is small enough to ship and real enough to matter
  • Build-vs-buy and stack decisions matched to your team and stage
  • Where AI actually earns its place in your product and workflow
  • A shipping cadence: what "done this week" looks like, week after week

What a session gives you

I came into the session with too many options and no clear sense of what to prioritize. Lars helped me structure the situation, compare the alternatives realistically, and identify the next step that made the most sense. I left with a clear plan I could start acting on immediately.
Anna M., TrondheimCareer direction
Lars quickly understood how my studies, business idea, and longer-term goals were connected. He asked the right questions, challenged some of my assumptions, and helped me turn a vague idea into a practical next experiment. The session gave me both clarity and momentum.
