Stop leaking money.
Start Procuring.

I'm Max Trincas — 20 years across tech, insurance, branding, and hospitality. Still in the trenches. I built The No-Team Procurement System so solo founders can buy smarter from vendors with a simple, repeatable framework. No department required.

Not a Guru. Just a Guy.

About Max

A 20-year career.
Now teaching what works.

I've worked in Insurance. Brand protection. Tech. Hospitality. Real Estate. I've sat where you sit. I've picked a vendor at 6 PM because the project started tomorrow. I've justified every euro because there was no one else to blame.

Here's what most courses miss: I've also worked in sales. I've pitched, quoted, and chased targets. I know how vendors think because I've been on both sides of the table.

The system I teach isn't theory. It's what I use when the pressure is on.

What I'm Working On

Testing AI in procurement.
Only if it earns its place.

I'm testing how AI can actually help in procurement — without creating more work than it saves.

My rule: If a tool doesn't save me at least 30 minutes a day, it doesn't make the cut. No blind adoption. Just things that survive real use.

A course on this? Maybe. Still figuring out what actually works.

Consulting

When the deal is too big to
wing it.

The course gives you the system. When you're staring at a six-figure contract and the clock is ticking, I can review it line by line, flag the risks, and draft your counter-terms.

Same frameworks. Your actual paperwork. By project. No retainers.
