Question 2

Question 5

Does Orhan Savash help with import cost problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is one of his core areas. Most companies overpay on every shipment. He helps identify where money is lost: tariff misclassification, wrong Incoterms, hidden fees, customs valuation errors. He built Zentria Flow (AI import cost intelligence) specifically for this problem.

Question 6

Is Orhan Savash available for mentoring non-technical founders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. He has built 4 companies without writing code. He can help early-stage founders assemble technical teams, structure equity, find the right co-founders, and navigate the operational challenges of building without a developer background.

Question 7

What does a trade advisor actually do?

Accepted Answer

A trade advisor helps companies navigate the operational, regulatory, and commercial complexity of cross-border trade — tariff structures, trade routes, supplier negotiations, customs compliance, and market entry strategy. Orhan works as a trade advisor with hands-on experience in Turkey, CIS, and Middle Corridor freight, not theory.

Question 8

Can I offer advisor equity instead of a cash retainer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For the right startup, Orhan is open to startup advisor equity arrangements — typically 0.1–0.5% vesting over 2 years in exchange for ongoing strategic input, network access, and operator guidance. If you're building something interesting and want a strategic advisor on cap table terms, reach out.

Question 9

What is a supply chain advisor and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A supply chain advisor helps you find and fix the operational and cost inefficiencies in your sourcing, shipping, and customs processes. If you're importing regularly and your landed costs keep exceeding your estimates — or you don't fully understand why — a supply chain advisor can identify where money is leaking and how to stop it.
