Our ideal clients

Three situations where telos adds value.

01

Investment round or IPO preparation.

You are 6+ months away from Series C/D/E or going public at a $1B+ valuation. The current revenue forecast is lagging behind the target. You need to achieve a significant revenue boost in 6–12 months.

02

Fintech expansion into an ecosystem.

You manage a bank or a payment system with an audience of 3M+ active users. Revenue stopped scaling with the client base growth. The Board of Directors expects new revenue streams.

03

Protecting leadership from global players.

Your market share is 30–70%. A global competitor has announced entry into the region. You have a 6–12 month window to build a defense through margin growth and/or launching new products and directions.

Protection via NDA

The value of every telos project lies in its exclusivity. A mutual NDA is the first document we sign before starting Discovery. Commitment to the confidentiality of your goals, data, and the tools we create — perpetual.

Regional exclusivity

One client per segment in a region.

We work with one marketplace or bank in a region. Direct competitors are excluded from the list of potential clients for the duration of the project and for 12 months after its completion. This ensures the tools we create remain your competitive advantage for the long run.

How we work

Three phases. Two decision gates. One contract.

Phase 01

Discovery

2–4 weeks · $20K+

A Lead Partner and Senior Analyst analyze data, metrics, and user segments. We set priorities and determine Go/No-Go.

Gate 1 — Go/No-Go decision on the numbers.

Phase 02

Build & Pilot

4–8 weeks · $100K+

One telos partner integrates with your team to launch the MVP. Based on the results we decide to scale or pivot.

Gate 2 — Scale-or-Pivot verdict based on the pilot.

Phase 03

Scale

6–12 months · $7–25K/mo + success fee

We iteratively improve the solution through data-driven experiments. Our remuneration is tied to your results.

Pricing as alignment

We earn together.

Most of our compensation is a success fee on incremental revenue for 12 months.

$5–10M incremental revenue / 12 mo
4%
$10M × 4% = $400K
$10–25M incremental revenue / 12 mo
6%
$20M × 6% = $1.2M
$25M+ incremental revenue / 12 mo
8%
$40M × 8% = $3.2M
Discovery call

A discovery call is the most effective way to check compatibility.

30–45 minutes. We listen, ask sharp questions (no sensitive data), and outline options for achieving your goal.
