Mobile Consultant

Giacomo Balli is an independent mobile consultant who advises founders and teams on product, roadmap, and vendor decisions, without selling you the build.

An independent mobile consultant

Most people who call themselves a mobile consultant are really selling you a build. I am not. I advise founders, product leaders, and business owners on the decisions around the build, so the money you spend on development actually lands.

That independence is the point. I do not take revenue share, equity, or a cut of the project, and I am not trying to win the implementation contract. My only job is to protect your product, your budget, and your leverage while the important decisions get made.

Where I help most:

• Roadmap & priorities
• Build vs buy decisions
• Where AI belongs
• Vendor & agency oversight
• Architecture tradeoffs
• Cost & risk exposure

More than two decades in mobile, including being one of the first app developers featured by Apple, plus an MBA and time running my own products, means stronger judgment when your situation is not a textbook one.

Most engagements start the same way: with a fixed-fee Second Opinion on the one decision in front of you. You leave with a written verdict you can take to any team you like, or use to walk away.
