Pricing good counsel is tricky, but Nikita Bier sets his fee at $15,000.
After leaving his position as X’s product lead in early August—following just over a year on the job—Nikita Bier now offers private video sessions via Intro, a platform that connects clients with expert advisors.
Intro lists Bier’s consultations as “starting at $7,500,” with a profile mentioning a 15‑minute slot. In practice, the cheapest package on offer is a 30‑minute session priced at $15,000.
That equates to $500 a minute, or $30,000 an hour, making the service clearly aimed at high‑level clients. The listing explicitly says bookings are limited to venture‑backed firms.
Intro’s script encourages clients to pose a minimum of three questions covering topics such as startups, growth strategies, or investment guidance.
Bier offers guidance on viral growth, product development, design, community building, fundraising, and expanding a social audience. Example queries clients can pose are: “How should I launch my app?” and “Which distribution channels are most effective for scaling my app?”
Bier’s Intro profile emphasizes his previous startup experience to attract paying customers.
Prior to X, Bier co‑founded Tbh, a startup acquired by Facebook in 2017, where he served roughly four years as a product manager. He later co‑founded Gas, which was bought by Discord in 2023; both acquisitions ultimately resulted in the apps being discontinued.
Bier joined X in July 2025 after a history of publicly advising Elon Musk on product matters. He relinquished his product leadership role on August 5 but continues to serve as a company advisor.
Historical archives of Bier’s Intro listing reveal his fees were roughly $1,000 in 2022‑2023. By 2025, Intro’s marketing listed a $7,500 session price.
The platform also features other specialists such as Andrew Chen, a general partner at Andreesen Horowitz (an investor in Intro), and Lavinia Errico, co‑founder of Equinox.
In Intro’s price‑sorted list, Bier holds the second‑most expensive slot, surpassed only by Hudson Leogrande, founder of Comfrt. Leogrande markets a 15‑minute session for $10,000, yet the briefest purchasable package is a 30‑minute consultation priced at $20,000.
Leogrande, in contrast, does not limit bookings to venture‑backed firms. His suggested client questions are: “How can I determine if my business idea is viable?” and “I’m planning to start a company—what should I focus on next?”
Bier maintains a flawless 5.0 rating from 127 reviewers on Intro. “Worth every minute and every dollar,” wrote a reviewer named Josh in May 2025. “Extremely value‑packed session full of golden nuggets,” said another reviewer, Gustav, in April of that year.
