Harri Thomas

Founder in London

I started Respondent (exited) and Elephants (currently building).
I've also worked as a UX researcher at Facebook.
I occasionally angel invest in companies like Great Question (YC '21), where I am also an advisor.
My interests: running, being outdoors and watching Aston Villa play.
I currently live in London, but Australia will always be home.

I'm currently working on launching Elephants, a social goals app.
I enjoy spending time with my wife, 1-year old daughter and two dogs.
I like to write about research and startups. I've had articles published in UX Collective and The Startup.

I've founded, scaled, and raised capital for my own startups. I've experienced everything from managing board dynamics to transitioning out of a company to co-founder break-ups.
My areas of competency: advice on how to get started with your first business, product market fit, growing a marketplace, fundraising and managing co-founder dynamics.
I will add the most value for 1) early stage tech founders; 2) people in product and UX research.
I only do one consulting call / week. This allows me to focus on adding as much value without it feeling like a job.
We'll spend time talking through your top goals, challenges, and outline a strategy and plan to solve them.

“My session with Harri was excellent and could be game-changing. He reached out before the call to understand my issues, and I think that really paid off. I left the call with a lot more clarity and some new hypotheses to go and validate. Thanks, Harri!” -Eyram Adjogatse
