// 1:1 MENTORSHIP

Four steps that separate idea from shipped product. Applied first on my own SaaS before opening as mentorship.

// HYPOTHESES
  • THE HYPOTHESIS 01

    Devs building solo stack up open projects. What's missing isn't advice. It's someone pulling decisions.

  • THE HYPOTHESIS 02

    Twitter wisdom and recorded courses don't fit the real context of someone building day to day.

  • THE HYPOTHESIS 03

    Most of what looks like strategy is procrastination dressed up as planning.

// THE PROMISE

From stuck solo dev to builder shipping with a method.

The SOLO Method structures your decisions across the 4 steps that separate idea from shipped product.

// SOLO METHOD

The SOLO Method

Four steps, four skills. Each session delivers one. You leave with a decision tool, not just a plan.

  • Situation

    Honest diagnosis

    Tell apart the story you tell yourself from the data that exists. Know where on the map you actually are, not where you think you are.

  • Objective

    Concrete destination

    Define what success means for this cycle. Not a plan, not a roadmap. A verifiable milestone you recognize when you reach it.

  • Launch

    Minimum launch

    Decide the smallest delivery that proves or breaks your hypothesis. Fight planning perfectionism with the real world.

  • Optimization

    Optimization without guessing

    Read real data from the launch and adjust course. Decide what becomes a new cycle and what gets left behind.

WHO IT'S FOR

  • Dev who's already shipped product but freezes when it's time to charge real value.
  • Solo founder stacking projects, finishing none.
  • Builder about to launch for the fifth time and never launches.
  • Dev who wants to stop operating as a freelancer and start operating as an owner.

WHO IT'S NOT FOR

  • Anyone looking for a recorded course with a ready-made formula.
  • Anyone wanting programming or design classes.
  • Anyone expecting results in a week without applying.
  • Anyone wanting to outsource decisions instead of learning to make them.

// HONEST VALIDATION

The SOLO Method was first applied to my own products (ThreadRecap, TeseFirme, CastSpread, among others) before opening as mentorship. The first pilot cycles with mentees are running now. Full case studies will be published here as cycles wrap up.

// REAL SEAT LIMIT

Real seat limit

I take at most 3 Diagnostics per week and 5 active Cycles in parallel. This isn't artificial scarcity: I build my own products and the mentorship only works with real presence. If there's no spot, I'll let you know when one opens.

// FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A 4-step structure: Situation, Objective, Launch, Optimization. It helps separate hunch from data, define a destination, decide the minimum delivery, and read results without bias. You leave with a tool that applies to any project, not only the one you bring.

No. You can be anywhere: idea, MVP, live product, stuck product. The method applies to all of them. What you need is something concrete to work on, not just general interest.

It helps, but it's not required. The focus is decision and direction, not code. If you build with no-code, low-code, or AI tools, the method applies the same way.

Yes. Every session is recorded and the link stays with you. Revisit whenever you want.

Diagnostic is a single 2h session focused on unblocking. You leave with an action plan and 30 days of WhatsApp support. Cycle is the full method applied across 4 spread sessions (one per step) over about 2 months.

You can. The amount paid for the Diagnostic becomes credit toward the Cycle if you migrate within 30 days of the single session.

Mostly solo founders, devs building their own products and professionals in transition. Companies can take the SOLO Diagnostic if it makes sense for the team. For full-team coaching, it's better to talk first by email.

SOLO Diagnostic: full refund if cancelled at least 24h before the session. SOLO Cycle: proportional refund for sessions not yet completed.

Yes. I work in English or Portuguese, and accept payment in BRL, USD or EUR via Stripe. I'm based in Portugal (Lisbon time), with flexibility for hours compatible with Brazil and Europe.
