Instincts of a Farmer, Mindset of a Founder
From early hustle to executive leadership, I help companies grow fast, lead smart, and scale with intent
I’m Andri Koolme — a strategist, builder, and operator at the intersection of tech, risk, and growth. I help companies move faster, scale smarter, and lead with intention.
From early-stage tech startups like Confinity to mission-driven SaaS enterprises like Automattic, I’ve led initiatives that balance risk with ambition, and strategy with action. I’ve built teams, products, and systems—whether co-founding a circular tech company, advising on AI-driven memory preservation, or scaling payment platforms used by thousands.
My early years on a small Estonian farm gave me an instinct for grit and resourcefulness; the rest I sharpened in the boardrooms and backends of some of the most agile companies. Let’s talk if you need a team builder who can see the big picture and get things done before the deadline hits.

Areas
Consulting
I work with startups, scaleups, and tech giants alike—especially in software and media—offering grounded, actionable advice rooted in firsthand experience. Whether it’s structuring teams, entering new markets, or scaling systems, I bring real operational insight from companies that move fast and think big.
Speaking
From global conferences to intimate team sessions, I speak on leadership, growth, and startups, drawing on years of hands-on experience across startups and international platforms. Whether you’re hosting an industry panel or an internal offsite, I bring sharp insights, real stories, and no fluff.
Philanthropy
Through the Koolme Foundation, I support causes and research on freedom of speech. I also contribute my time and skills to open-source projects and global communities where impact matters more than credit.
