Petri Kajander is a purpose-driven founder with creativity and clarity in mind.  
  
He has co-founded companies, including [*Libera*](https://www.libera.fi/) — the first free-market think tank in Finland. He has lectured in universities, mentored founders through early-stage chaos and late-stage decisions, and served as a [thinking partner](/chairman-as-a-service/) that has been called many things: Chairman as a Service, late co-founder, business artist.  
  
He hosted [*Talks with Petri*](/talkswithpetri/) and [*Purpose 'n Clarity*](/purpose-n-clarity/) — two podcasts that brought together founders and thinkers, and focused on company building.

He has [translated](/kirjoja/) economics classics, written a decade of [book notes](/archive/books/) and a [book](/archive/fragmentsofreality/) on meditation and self-enquiry, co-produced a documentary, and appeared in a movie along the way.  
  
He builds privacy-first iOS apps: [*Nuotit*](https://nuotit.org/), [*Lappaa*](https://lappaa.com/), and [*Nootti*](https://nootti.com/) ([an AI prompt for details](/apps_prompt.md)).
