About

This is Adrien Harrison's personal consulting practice. Not an agency.

You work directly with Adrien, every session. He combines deep AI safety expertise, practitioner-level knowledge of the EU AI Act, and a track record building AI-native ventures to give you strategic clarity that most consultants can't.

What Adrien brings

Founder of Better Societies, the AI safety and governance education community. Built OpsJuice, an AI operations platform for SMBs, end-to-end from zero to live product. Practitioner-level expertise on EU AI Act compliance strategy, AI governance frameworks, and AI-native product design. Speaks with world-leading alignment researchers regularly. Serial founder across 10 companies, featured in Forbes.

What that means for you

You get someone who has lived AI Act compliance as an operating founder. He knows which obligations are real, which are noise, and how to build a roadmap that doesn't stall your product velocity. The advice is direct, honest, and grounded in what actually works, not what sounds good in a governance framework.

Who this is for

Echo Studio is inbound-only and deliberately small.

We say no more than we say yes. Here's what good fit looks like.

Series A-C founders building with AI

Your product uses AI in ways that touch EU AI Act Annex III categories. You need a compliance roadmap that doesn't kill your shipping velocity.

Executives with board accountability for AI

You need to show the board you've done the work on AI governance. You want a credible framework, not a 200-page generic policy document.

Investors doing AI safety diligence

You're evaluating a portfolio company's AI risk posture and want an independent read from someone who actually builds in this space.

Institutional operators with alignment exposure

Defense-adjacent, healthcare, or financial services companies where AI alignment isn't theoretical. You need practical frameworks, not papers.

How it works

From first call to close.

Every engagement starts with a no-pressure 45-minute discovery call. Here's what happens after you book.

01

Discovery call (45 min)

Adrien asks about your company, product, regulatory exposure, and timeline. No pitch. If there's a fit, he'll say so. If there isn't, he'll point you somewhere useful.

02

Scoping (3 to 5 days)

Adrien maps your situation against the EU AI Act, your product roadmap, and any investor or board constraints. You get a scoping brief before any money changes hands.

03

Proposal and contract

You get a written proposal with scope, deliverables, timeline, and a fixed price. If it looks right, we sign and you get an invoice from Echo Collective LLC. No hourly ambiguity on flat-fee work.

04

Engagement

Weekly working sessions, async review, and direct access to Adrien. Every engagement ends with a deliverable you can put in front of your board, your investors, or your regulator.

05

After the engagement

Most clients move to a monthly advisory retainer ($1K to $3K per month) to stay current as the regulatory landscape evolves, without the overhead of a new scoping cycle.
