Pi School

As an AI Innovation Partner, I act as the strategic bridge between forward-thinking organizations and Pi School’s world-class AI engineering and research team.

My role focuses on helping companies explore, define, and execute impactful AI innovation by:
	•	Advising organizations on how to identify and scope real-world challenges that can be solved through AI
	•	Guiding partners through our 8-week innovation programme — from ideation to fully functional AI prototypes
	•	Aligning internal stakeholders across product, engineering, and delivery to ensure business and technical goals are met
	•	Ensuring outcomes, not outputs — our AI solutions are built for business impact, not just code
	•	Managing strategic relationships with clients ranging from startups to global enterprises (Amazon, Meta, ESA, etc.)
	•	Shaping repeatable frameworks for rapid AI exploration, validation, and integration
	•	Supporting growth through referrals and long-term collaboration, not transactional deals

We don’t sell software. We co-design and deliver custom AI prototypes — fast, fixed-price, and with academic-grade quality — so companies can unlock innovation without the overhead or risk.

After 10+ years in tech sales — including Gartner, top software companies, and several startups (some of which I founded) — I saw how hard it is for companies to innovate through technology. Too often, they spend huge time and budget chasing ideas that don’t work, especially in AI.

That’s why I joined Pi School - We Build Custom AI Prototypes in 8 Weeks 

We’re not a software development agency. We’re a team of academics, engineers, and AI researchers trained at Cambridge, École Centrale, and top institutions.

We’ve delivered 100+ AI prototypes for companies like Cisco, Enel, European Space Agency — and won multi-million euro EU tenders to solve major public and private sector challenges through AI.

We Offer:
-A working, custom AI prototype — delivered in just 8 weeks
-No legacy code. No scope creep. No “hourly billing” traps
-Fixed price, fast delivery, and zero need for an internal tech team
-Backed by top-tier experts, not outsourced freelancers
-Built for business outcomes — not code for code’s sake

We combine research-grade AI with real-world execution — helping you:
-Unlock AI-powered innovation
-Improve efficiency, decisions & operations
-Get buy-in from leadership with tangible results
-Future-proof your career and business without the risk

Only 6 slots per cohort — 3 cohorts/year.

If you’re leading innovation or transformation, DM me to share your AI idea to see if you qualify.

Hey YOU, yes YOU! 👋

Thanks for dropping by on my profile 😊

I'm on a mission to help B2B Companies make prospecting easy! In B2B, buying has changed, but selling hasn't. Most organisations are not evolving with the times and are still hung up on 'old school' methods that won't simply make the cut in this day and age.

"That meeting should have been a Slack message…" 🤦🏻‍♂️

Well, now you can actually put a price on it

I built a Meeting Cost Calculator that shows you how much your calls cost in real time. Add the salaries of the people on the call, hit start and watch the numbers climb.

Features:
👥 Attendee count
⏱ Live timer
💸 Cost per minute and hour
📊 Total meeting cost

Oh, and you can share the final summary straight into Slack

With the holidays coming up and only 31 days left until the end of the year, ain’t nobody got time to waste 🚀

Start timing and quantifying your meetings now:

This app was inspired by posts from fellow async and remote work advocates like Matthew Lloyd, Rodolphe Dutel and Rowena (Ro) Hennigan 🙌

Earlier this month, I was invited to attend another edition of World Travel Market (WTM) London. It was great to see familiar faces and sit down with several tourism boards to talk about my travels and the collabs I am working on as the fulltime backpacker. A few themes kept coming up in almost every conversation 👇

👉 Travel is shifting from ‘see more’ to ‘feel more’. People want slower and deeper, more meaningful trips that give them room to breathe, reflect and connect

👉 As AI-generated content floods the internet, travellers are becoming more selective about whom they trust. They are looking for sources that feel real and grounded

👉 Experiences now matter more than itineraries. Most people do not want a checklist of things to tick off. They want to feel something. The destinations that invest in honest storytelling are the ones that stand out

👉 Sustainability is still talked about everywhere, yet the gap between talk and action remains wide. Travellers are paying closer attention to their impact, and they can see through the green gloss. Places like Klinci Village Resort in Montenegro are showing what that looks like in practice, hosting stays that genuinely follow sustainable principles

👉 AI is becoming a helpful assistant in travel. Many companies are automating the heavy lifting, like data crunching and customer service, so their teams can focus on creativity, hospitality and genuine human connection

👉 In many developing destinations, only about a third of tourism revenue stays in the local community. The rest leaks out to foreign-owned hotels, airlines and tour operators. This raises a fair question about the blanket narrative that all tourism is good for locals. The challenge lies in finding a balance that supports both tourist comfort and local prosperity. My friend Safir Jamal, Founder of Global Nomad Pass, has been pushing this conversation for years. Take a look at what he's built: https://dipak.me/nomadpass

👉 Following on from the above, travellers want to support local people directly. The destinations that collaborate with residents rather than build over them are the ones that leave a lasting impact. A great example is the work Tanja Polegubic and Digital Nomad Association Croatia have done with regional tourism boards across the country

Thank you to the WTM London team for having me! 🙏

My ears were burning this morning. I had no idea why until Iva Peršić sent me the photo below 😊

I couldn’t make it to Murska Sobota for 'Slow Festive Flow' because of a speaking slot in London and SaaStr.ai, but I know everyone there will have an amazing time. You’re in great hands with Laura Kopunovič and the Aurora Coworking Murska Sobota team. Enjoy it for me 🤗

As for when I’ll be back in Slovenia, I’m already talking with my friends at Digital Nomad Association Slovenia about making that a reality in 2026 😎

Scrolling through customer reviews manually? You miss the gold!

Social Proof Generator just went live and it turns raw customer feedback into ready-to-use marketing assets

Paste reviews from G2, Trustpilot, Reddit, Inc. or even support tickets. Hit 'Generate' and get:

Strategic intelligence:
👉 Most mentioned features (visual bar charts)
👉 Key value propositions (what actually wins customers)
👉 ROI quotes with hard metrics (for sales decks)
👉 Competitive intelligence (who you beat and why)

👉 Pain points with severity ratings

Ready-to-Use Outputs:

Not only does it extract quotes but it also analyses feedback like a senior B2B Product Marketer would, including:
💥 Decision factors
💥 Buying committee roles
💥 Exact customer language you should steal for your copy

I built it because turning 50 reviews into usable marketing content took hours. Now it takes seconds.

Social Proof Generator - Dipak Vadera

Hello London 🇬🇧👋

Who’s in town for SaaStr.ai this week?

Glad I took this shot over the weekend instead of today 😅☔️

#SaaStr

This was a fun experiment 🧪

A few weeks ago, I met my friend Patrick Schüller for dinner. At some point, while discussing vibe coding, he asked if I knew how many people had viewed or were using the apps I built with Claude.

“Just north of 120 views and around 17 active users that I've heard from for the last one”, I said.

 “Nice. Have you thought about adding some ad space?”

 “That’s a good idea”, I replied as a lightbulb went off in my head.

So I went ahead and did it. The next app I launched was a UTM Link Generator, and I added a CTA at the bottom that linked to Leadfeeder’s (by Dealfront) landing page. It felt like an 'organic' inclusion because the app solves a problem that Dealfront’s marketing buyer persona runs into all the time.

I added UTM tags to the CTA so I could track everything in my own Leadfeeder dashboard. A few days later, conversions started rolling in 🙂

👋 I’m open to new app ideas for sales and marketers
🤝 I’m also offering ad space on upcoming apps. Reach out if you want to learn more 😉
