What founders & operators say

"
In one hour, Petr saved me more than a year of business model iterations. It's thanks to his experience from many different projects. You can see that he brilliantly recognizes patterns that repeat across startups. He has perspective, sees deeply, and extremely accelerates a founder's work.

Petr is great in cutting through distractions and identifying real opportunities — always thinking five steps ahead. I only wish Budeto had existed when I was in the trenches, building and scaling businesses.

BUDETO has the potential to combine excellent business execution and great talent to prove that any business idea is worthless without talented people with enough perseverance to fulfill it.
