AXIOM by Asteriqxp/axiom-by-asteriqx•

I spent 10 years charging $25,000 for AI governance frameworks. Then I productized them.

Some time back I sat across from a CRO at a large bank. He had 6 weeks before a regulatory examination. His AI governance framework did not exist.

He called three consulting firms. The fastest proposal came back in 19 days. The engagement 14 weeks. The cost $32,000.

He had neither the time nor the budget.

That conversation never left me.

Build your brand before your product, or launch first and reveal yourself later?

  1. I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.

  2. But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.

Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).

+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.
