This cabinet belongs to Lukian P. — two decades as a technical lead on enterprise infrastructure, now founder and chief executive of LJP Operations, the portfolio he is building one company at a time. Three are mounted here: ACQI, acquisition intelligence for deal teams that refuse to buy blind; BidsterX, where verified estate agents compete for a single listing; and offr, a sealed-offer desk for collector cars. Two of the three are in stealth, and their sheets carry only what is safe to publish. Each venture is grown from seed by a branching grammar, pressed, taped and labelled in the manner of the old collectors.
Every leaf on a sheet opens a page of that company's site. The Latin, at least, is honest — each epithet agrees in gender with its genus. N regrow · P press · ←→ turn sheets · Esc close

About the founder
Lukian P. spent two decades as a technical lead on enterprise infrastructure — the person a board calls when an environment has to move, merge or survive: four M&A integrations led end-to-end, thirty-five acquisitions folded into one group. That practice is the seed of LJP Operations, the portfolio of founder-led companies he now runs, built to one standard: software that tells the truth about what you own, what you are buying, and what you are selling.
ACQI is the flagship: live in beta, built for deal teams who refuse to buy blind. BidsterX and offr are in stealth, and their sheets show only what is safe to publish. The whole group runs on three habits I picked up in two decades of infrastructure: read, don't write; seal what should stay sealed; and never publish a figure you can't trace to a record.
There has never been a better time to build.
The professional pedigree behind the portfolio: Wintel infrastructure, virtualisation, solutions architecture, monitoring and management — MCSE, BSc Computer Science — practised across commodities, crypto, industrial engineering, investment banking and start-ups, in London, Copenhagen and Perth. Correspondence welcome.
