Former X product chief offers half-day consulting for $15,000 per session

Nikita Bier, who left his role as head of product at X in August, is now selling 30-minute advisory calls for $15,000 through the platform Intro.

After a little more than a year leading product at X, Nikita Bier resigned in early August and now markets one-on-one video advice via Intro, a service that connects experts with paying clients. The platform advertises his sessions as starting at $7,500 for 15 minutes, but the only purchasable option is a 30-minute call priced at $15,000, equating to $500 per minute. Bier limits bookings to venture-backed companies and promises guidance on startup launch, distribution channels, community building, and social media growth.

His background includes co-founding Tbh, bought by Facebook in 2017, and co-founding Gas, acquired by Discord in 2023, both of which were later shut down by their buyers. Intro ranks him as the second-most expensive consultant, behind Hudson Leogrande, whose 30-minute sessions cost $20,000. Customers have left glowing reviews, giving Bier a flawless 5.0 average from 127 ratings.
