Elon Musk’s former top lieutenant will give you 30 minutes of business advice — if you’re willing to spend $15,000 for it

That’s what it will cost you if you want the business advice of Nikita Bier, former head of product at X.

The money news that actually matters.

Bier, who left X this month after just over a year in the role, is selling his time and know-how on the platform Intro, where users can book video calls with experts in different fields.

Nikita Bier joined X as head of product in July 2025. Upon getting the job, he wrote on X, “I’ve officially posted my way to the top.”

Bier made a name for himself by founding apps. While he was still a student at UC Berkeley, his app Politify went viral amid the 2012 presidential campaign. He co-founded the app TBH, which launched in 2017 and was swiftly acquired by Meta. And in 2022, he co-founded Gas, which was bought by Discord in 2023.

According to TechCrunch, Bier’s remark about having “posted” his way to the top refers to his “large presence on the app.”

In 2022, he tweeted at Elon Musk, saying, “Hire me to run Twitter as VP of Product. I’ve been building social apps for 11 years — and not in a way that leads products to decay like a typical BigTech ‘product director dad.’”

On June 30, 2025, he replied to that tweet himself, writing “Never give up.”

Bier also works as a product growth partner for Lightspeed Venture Partners, and as an adviser for the Solana Foundation, according to TechCrunch.

$15K for 30 minutes

Bier’s profile on Intro offers live, one-on-one video calls in 15-, 30-, and 45-minute blocks at prices that work out to $500 per minute ($7,500, $15,000 and $22,500, respectively).

If you splurge for a full hour, you can save $2,000, as 60 minutes is listed at “$28,000 $30,000” — that’s only $466.67 per minute. You can save even more if you book 75 minutes, which is $34,500 (or $460 per minute), marked down from $37,500.

The savings really mount if you opt for the 90-minute, 120-minute, or 180-minute sessions, which go for $40,000, $50,000 and $70,000, respectively. That works out to $444.44, $416.67, or $388.89 a minute.

But not just anyone can book a session with Bier; his profile page notes that “Sessions will only be accepted for venture-backed companies.”

Under the heading “What to expect” on Bier’s Intro profile, a 15-minute meeting is said to allow you to ask Bier “three or more questions,” or “discuss startups, growth, or investing,” or get “advice on virality” and “how to raise capital for your business.”

Example questions for those calling Bier, according to his profile page, include: “How would you launch my app?”; “What are the best distribution channels for growing my app?”; “Can you give feedback on this Figma or landing page?” and “What is the latest growth mechanism on iOS that people haven’t caught on to?”

The profile page describes Bier as “one of the most in-demand consumer, social and growth experts in the world.”

Linda Evangelista has said that she regrets making her “$10,000 a day” comment.

But it’s unlikely Bier has regrets about his very public rate of $500 per minute. As of writing, the Intro website showed that he was slated to have what could possibly be a $15,000 day — he was booked up for his 12 p.m. and 12:20 p.m. time slots.
