Aleksander “Olek” Uznański · Product Builder & Advisor
Four products built 0→1 across fintech, HR-tech, analytics and AI SaaS. 300+ startups and 20+ product orgs trained. I turn founder conviction into evidence, and evidence into revenue.
Worked with & trained teams at
0.1 / Evidence
80% of features are rarely or never used. My job is making sure yours aren’t among them: evidence-based product development, from the first customer interview to scaled revenue.

0.2 / In the room
300+ startups and 20+ product orgs trained, dozens of stages. The work behind the numbers.
0.3 / Selected work
Head of Product · 2024–2025 · AI design tool
$300K→$450KMRR
First product hire at a bootstrapped AI design tool with 1M+ users. Built the product-led growth engine: systematic experimentation across activation, pricing and retention that grew MRR 50% in nine months.
Fractional Head of Product · 2022–2023 · hiring marketplace
0→PMFin 30 months
Took a Swiss recruitment platform from idea to product-market fit: a beachhead of ~500 product leaders in Zurich, 50+ story-based interviews, 30+ experiments and a no-code MVP running on WhatsApp flows. 1,000 B2C users and 60 B2B customers in the first year.
Head of Product · 2020–2021 · French-Belgian neobank
−30%onboarding dropout
Led a product team of nine building a mobile neobank. 85% of prospects were abandoning a compliance-heavy signup. I redesigned it into a five-step KYC flow, cutting dropout by over 30% and helping earn FCA e-money agent accreditation.
Product Advisor · UAE e-commerce
Research→ validated rebrand
Ran comprehensive customer research and prototype testing for a major UAE marketplace: validated new mobile and desktop branding before launch and surfaced a pipeline of conversion opportunities.
0.4 / Ways to work together
Delivered directly or through ProductTrio, my boutique product advisory. Every engagement starts with a free 20-minute conversation.
Your product org, led part-time by someone who has done 0→1 four times. I own the whole loop, from strategy and discovery to delivery and team, and build the muscle so you eventually don’t need me.
Weekly coaching for founders and product people: continuous discovery habits, outcome-driven roadmaps, sharper decisions. The same mentoring that 300+ startups and 20+ product orgs have been through.
Hands-on workshops for groups of 10–16, online or on-site. Teams leave converting business goals into product outcomes, mapping opportunities and testing assumptions on their own real backlog, not toy exercises.
The FOUND playbook, productized: beachhead definition, demand validation, cheap MVP experiments and a structured path to product-market fit, before you burn a build budget on a hunch.
0.5 / Still shipping
Track and validate product-market fit. The methodology from hundreds of startup sessions, turned into a product.
In build · 2026Team management for flag football squads. Built because my own team needed it, scratching an itch I actually have.
Meanwhile, off the laptop:
Visiting lecturer on 0→1 Product Development for Executive MBA students at Warsaw University of Technology Business School · Startup mentor at StartSmart CEE & Mazovian StartUPolis.
0.6 / The human
I started in strategy consulting at BCG and McKinsey, and kept choosing the messier, more honest work: building the thing itself. Since then I’ve taken four products from zero to one, led a product team of nine at a neobank, hiring marketplace, and AI design platform, and spent 5 years helping founders find product-market fit.
A former semi-professional goalkeeper, I now play in a flag football team in Wrocław. Same job, really: read the field, organise the defence, make the save look easy.
