ODAFIN — AI consultancy

What we do

Two directions, one operator's mindset — AI that earns its place in your business, and the renewable-energy and infrastructure projects we develop and finance.

LLM/AI

Practical, LLM-powered AI for companies that want results, not slide decks.

AI strategy & assessment

Where AI actually moves the needle for you, what it costs, and what to do first. No buzzwords, no twelve-month roadmaps.

Automation & integrations

Connect the tools you already use. Replace manual data entry, reconciliations, reporting, and back-office routines with reliable workflows.

Back Office and Front-End Automation

Latvian-language document understanding for invoices, bank statements and tax filings — plus sales- and production-process automation that works with unstructured data to find solutions that add value across the front and back office.

Enterprise AI refocusing

Re-architect how an organisation works around LLMs — processes, data, and teams redesigned so AI becomes the operating model, not a bolt-on feature.

Project Development

From market strategy and analysis to building the project — renewable energy and data centres, as owner's engineer and due-diligence lead, from first analysis to financial close.

Fifteen years building and financing critical infrastructure. Group CFO at LVRTC, Latvia's state broadcast, telecoms, and data-centre operator; supervisory board at LMT through the country's 4G and 5G rollout; and private-equity diligence before that — evaluating assets for what they actually do, not what they pitch.

Today that experience goes into renewable-energy project development: battery storage, solar, and wind — from feasibility and grid connection through supplier coordination, permitting, financing, and financial close, as a single accountable lead.

Market Analysis and Strategy

We prepare, analyse and help implement market and growth strategy — independent analytics (sizing, pricing, competition, regulation), the entry decision, and execution — with deep sector knowledge in telecom, broadcast and infrastructure.

Renewable Project Development

Solar, wind and battery storage as owner's engineer, with deep hands-on experience in wind — feasibility, grid connection, supplier/EPC coordination, permitting and financing, A-to-Z.

Data Center Development

Siting, power, and commercial structuring for data-centre projects — including the behind-the-meter renewable + storage angle that makes the economics work.

Due Diligence and Modeling

Independent technical and financial due diligence and bankable models for investors, developers, and lenders — every number sourced and stress-tested.

How we work

Four principles that keep our work honest and our clients shipping.

Practical first

We start with the problem, not the technology. If a spreadsheet beats a model, we tell you.

Local-first

Latvian-language tooling, EU data residency, GDPR-aligned by default. We are based here, our clients are here.

Ship in weeks

Smallest useful version first. You see real value inside a quarter, not a year. Iterate from there.

Transparent pricing

Fixed scope, fixed price where we can. Time-and-materials with weekly burn reports where we can't. No surprises.

About ODAFIN

A small, technical practice that builds working AI — and gets infrastructure financed and built.

ODAFIN is based in Latvia and works across the European Union. We exist because most AI consultancy is theatre, most automation tooling is generic, and most infrastructure advice never owns an outcome. Our clients deserve better on all three.

Founder

Mariss Mežgals is the founder of ODAFIN. He has spent fifteen years at the intersection of finance, infrastructure and technology — most recently as Chief Financial Officer of LVRTC, Latvia's state radio and television operator, where he ran the financial side of a portfolio that spans broadcast, telecoms and broadband.

He also served on the supervisory board of LMT (Latvijas Mobilais Telefons) through the country's 4G and 5G rollout, sitting close to the engineering and regulatory decisions that shaped how Latvia connects to itself — and to the wider state digitalisation programme that put public services online for citizens and businesses. Before that he worked in private equity and venture capital, evaluating businesses for what they actually do, not what they pitch.

He started ODAFIN because the next decade of value creation will not happen inside any single discipline. It will happen at the seams — where finance meets engineering, where regulation meets product, where Latvian-language operations meet global AI tooling, and where renewable energy meets the grid. That is exactly where AI and hard infrastructure earn their place: as the connective tissue between worlds that used to be too expensive to bridge.
