Build and operate your AI-native app studio
Crafter Mentorship is my professional mentorship program for solo founders who already ship software and want to build their own app studio. Connect your apps, agents, knowledge, and workflows through practical guidance and candid reviews. You can start with your first app or develop an existing studio. You own the studio and carry out the work.
Format
- Async-first through a dedicated private Slack channel.
- Text, voice messages, screenshots, files, and short screen recordings.
- No compulsory weekly video calls; a live conversation only when the work genuinely requires one.
Focus
The focus is your studio: its apps, product strategy, agent responsibilities, knowledge, development workflows, and operations. We can review an app, examine an agent setup, connect a knowledge base, or improve a development practice. Current priorities keep the work manageable without limiting the program to one app or one milestone.
What is included
- Complete Crafter membership while the mentorship is active.
- A private Slack relationship with me.
- Mentee’s Cockpit, the private workspace that preserves our work.
- Ongoing studio context, so advice stays connected to your goals, apps, and working practices.
- Substantive reviews of what you are building, and direct, candid recommendations.
- A monthly reset of what changed and what matters next.
What is not included
I provide guidance and reviews. You implement features, produce designs and marketing, and operate your business. Mentorship does not include me carrying out that work or remaining constantly available, and it cannot guarantee launch, App Store approval, users, or revenue.
Price, commitment, and places
$2,000/month, billed monthly, built around a three-month commitment to the work. You can cancel at any time; otherwise it continues monthly until you cancel. Crafter Mentorship is limited to two active Mentees.
How it begins
Crafter Mentorship begins with a conversation. Crew Chief asks a few questions about you, your studio, and the guidance you want, I read every request myself, and a private checkout opens only if I offer a place. Start a conversation.
