Honesty
Being honest means being truthful in all words and actions. It goes beyond avoiding lies: it means telling the complete truth, even when that is difficult.
About MYTD
MYTD is a full-service business management firm serving AI-based technology companies. We assist leaders in creating meaningful growth transformations to provide companies with long-term value.
Why we focus on AI-based technology companies
MYTD chose a narrow focus deliberately: one firm, one kind of company, the whole management agenda.
AI-based technology companies face a distinctive combination of pressures — fast-moving technology, demanding capital markets, and the responsibility that comes with building consequential tools. Serving them well takes more than one discipline, which is why our practice spans strategy, finance, technology, execution, and impact under one roof.
We describe ourselves as full-service because we take responsibility for outcomes across the management agenda, not for slices of it. And we describe the companies we work with as partners because that is how we treat the relationship: long-term, candid, and accountable in both directions.
Not to be confused

MYTD is the business management firm at mytd.com, serving AI-based technology companies with strategic business development, financial advisory, technology enablement, growth transformation, proprietary opportunities, and social impact work.
Our mission
MYTD strives to create superior value for our partners and communities by utilizing cutting-edge technology, financial expertise, proprietary opportunities, investment capital, strategic business development, and a solid commitment to social impact.
The mission of MYTD, in the firm's own words.
Our values
These eighteen values are not aspirational wallpaper. They describe how we make decisions, how we treat people, and what our partners are entitled to expect from us. We publish them so we can be held to them.
Integrity
Integrity is the result of consistently choosing to act ethically in challenging situations — especially when we stand against the mainstream or our position is at risk. It means upholding ethical principles and following through on our aspirations consistently, predictably, and reliably.
Quality
Quality means putting in our best effort and constantly improving how we serve our partners. We prioritize their needs above our own financial gain.
Good Citizenship
Being a good citizen means knowing our responsibilities and respecting applicable laws and regulations. We are committed to a transparent environment free of corruption: we never offer bribes or use illegal methods to influence decisions.
Respect
Respect means appreciating and honoring each person, even when it does not come naturally. We maintain a platform where people are treated fairly, in line with applicable law and our own policies.
Kindness
A respectful workplace is a safe one: no mocking, no harmful discrimination, no harassment. It also means every partner has a fair chance to pursue their career path with their privacy protected.
Trust
Trust is built on genuine care for one another without expecting anything in return. When we assist each other harmoniously and respectfully, our work prospers.
Empathy
Empathy is the ability to comprehend another's predicament and connect with their feelings. Because our minds are biased, we continuously remind ourselves to give people the benefit of the doubt — aiming, like a dynamic mirror, to bring out the best in others and help them be their authentic selves.
Negotiation
We look for innovative options that transform conflicting interests into compatible or complementary ones. In disputes we rely on objective criteria and reasonable standards, and we tackle the problem, never the people.
Fairness
We treat others with dignity — indeed, better than we would ask to be treated ourselves — by applying sound moral standards to every decision that affects them. The same justice governs how we treat other organizations and manage workplace relationships.
Innovation
We cultivate a hunger for continuous learning and the discovery of novel ideas, new technologies, and creative ways of working. We are unafraid to share our innovations in the face of criticism, ridicule, or opposition.
Education
Learning from mistakes is essential, and trial and error is fundamental to our progress. That requires a safe environment for people's fears, concerns, and vulnerabilities — one where people work with passion, not stress.
Responsibility
Responsibility means accepting the obligation to act in accordance with all of these values. We know we will be held accountable for our actions and fully accept the consequences; admitting a mistake, for us, is a sign of strength.
Success
We pursue success by becoming better versions of ourselves every day, above all in living our values. Collaboration is vital — we do not aim to compete or rank.
Esteem
We value honest feedback and constructive criticism about ourselves. It is how we improve and grow, with greater optimism.
Leadership
Leadership means assisting others, not acting as their ultimate compass. We encourage people to cultivate and trust their own intuition rather than rely on us blindly — critical questioning reduces corruption and helps build a brighter tomorrow.
Privacy
We prioritize our partners' privacy and take responsibility for handling their information with the utmost discretion.
Diversity
We understand that not everyone shares our values. Enforcing a single ethical principle can suppress personal morality, limit acceptance of diverse cultural perspectives, and hinder social and economic progress.
Work with us
If this is the standard you want from a management partner, we should talk.
