I'm Jaanek Sildam.
I work in Growth and GTM at Salv, fighting financial crime.
I run Pacyr, a content studio, and advise people who want to change the world. My sweet spot: B2B growth strategy.
I also mentor student companies at my former high school.
I got started by co-founding SMÄKK, a company selling magnesium chocolate. A crash course in bootstrapping a company.
