Build
I like creating things from the ground up — businesses, software, platforms, media properties and intellectual property.
I'm Akonam — an entrepreneur, technology builder, creator, author, music artist and founder developing businesses, products, media and intellectual property around ideas I believe should exist.
I am interested in more than starting businesses. I want to build companies, systems and assets that can become larger than the person who started them.
Entrepreneurship is at the centre of my work.
I like taking an idea from its earliest form — sometimes just a thought or an observation — and turning it into something structured: a business, product, platform, company, publication, experience or body of work.
My interests move across technology, commerce, media, publishing, music, hospitality and other forms of creative enterprise. The industries may change, but the underlying objective remains the same: create something useful, own it, improve it and give it room to grow.
I am especially interested in the relationship between entrepreneurship and technology — how software, systems, media and intellectual property can turn a small operation into something capable of reaching far beyond its original environment.
I am not trying to build a collection of disconnected projects. I am building a body of companies, products and intellectual property that can compound over time.
I am naturally drawn to the space between an idea and what it could eventually become. I look for ways to turn individual activities into systems, systems into products and products into businesses that can operate and grow independently.
I like creating things from the ground up — businesses, software, platforms, media properties and intellectual property.
I value ownership of the underlying assets, technology, brand, customer relationship and intellectual property behind what I build.
I am interested in turning manual operations into repeatable systems that can function, improve and scale without depending entirely on me.
The long-term objective is not simply to make something work. It is to create structures capable of reaching more people, generating more value and becoming increasingly independent.
My entrepreneurial work extends beyond technology.
I am interested in building companies across different industries where strong ideas can be transformed into commercially viable businesses, systems and long-term assets.
One example is CRETESPACE — a business centre operation being transformed into a technology-enabled service platform. The larger ambition is to move beyond the traditional business centre model and build infrastructure that can support how people and businesses access services, technology and operations.
Other ventures and concepts explore different markets and experiences. I do not expect every idea to become a company. The objective is to identify the ideas with real potential, build them properly and allow the strongest ones to compound.
Explore the venturesCRETESPACE represents an important part of my entrepreneurial journey: taking a traditional service business and asking what it could become when technology is placed at its centre.
What began as a physical business centre has evolved into a broader technology and service-platform vision — connecting customers, services, ordering, payments, fulfilment and business operations through software.
The objective is not simply to operate another business centre. It is to build systems that can make this type of business more efficient, accessible, scalable and increasingly independent of physical location.
CRETESPACE is therefore both a business and an experiment in a larger question: how much of a traditional service business can be transformed into technology infrastructure?
Explore what I'm buildingI build software around real-world problems — platforms that connect people, services, content, commerce and operations.
My long-term technology work extends into systems such as CRETO, CREVA and BICEN — ideas focused on intelligence, automation and operating infrastructure for businesses and digital environments.
AKNM.PRO is the company and technology environment through which I am developing a broader vision for personal digital ownership.
The long-term product vision is AKODIA — a Web Media platform designed around the idea that a person's presence on the internet should be capable of becoming something closer to an owned digital property than a profile inside someone else's network.
Instead of reducing identity to a username, follower count or profile inside a closed social network, AKODIA explores a model where individuals can have a customisable digital home through which they can publish, communicate, build an audience and develop their own media presence.
This is part of a broader belief that technology should not only make people more connected. It should also give them greater control over what they create and how they exist digitally.
Discover the visionEntrepreneurship and media increasingly intersect. I want to build an audience around the ideas, businesses, experiments and perspectives behind my work rather than relying entirely on traditional advertising or third-party platforms.
AKNM is becoming a place for video, conversations, podcasts, broadcasts, writing, documentation and original programming.
Writing is one of the ways I turn ideas, experiences and observations into intellectual property that can exist independently of me.
Explore the booksThrough AKNM Publishing, I am building a home for original books, ideas and other intellectual property across digital and physical formats.
Enter the libraryI am also interested in the cultural and creative side of building.
Music, books, hospitality, experiences and other creative projects provide different ways of expressing ideas, creating communities and building intellectual and cultural value.
AKNM Records provides a home for music, releases and the wider creative work surrounding them.
Explore the musicI believe ownership matters.
I want to understand the businesses, products and systems I build and retain meaningful control over the assets that make them valuable.
I value independence because it creates room to think differently, experiment and build without having to follow somebody else's formula.
I believe technology should create leverage — allowing people and businesses to accomplish more without simply adding more complexity.
I also believe ambition has to be matched by discipline. Ideas are abundant. Execution, customer value, revenue, systems and persistence are what turn them into companies.
Ultimately, I am interested in building things that can continue to create value long after the excitement of starting them has passed.
Transforming a traditional business centre into a technology-enabled service platform and building the systems required to operate and scale it beyond a single physical location.
Building the technology, media and digital infrastructure that connects my entrepreneurial, creative and publishing work.
Developing a long-term Web Media vision for a more owned, customisable and independent digital presence.
Exploring the next generation of software and operating infrastructure through projects including CRETO, CREVA and BICEN.
Growing AKNM TV, AKNM Live, Journal, podcasts, video and original programming as an independent media operation.
Developing books, music, publishing projects, creative work and other original assets that can exist and compound independently.
I am building the capacity to build many things — companies, technology, media, intellectual property and experiences that can create value independently and together.
AKNM is the environment in which those ideas come together. The work is still early, but the direction is deliberate: build, own, systemise, execute and keep going.
