Free coaching
for founders.
Real events, too.

One session with NextGen Ita mentors and experts. No forms, no upsell. Strategy, AI adoption, or the question keeping you up at 3 AM. And when we're not on a call, we're in the room — real events across Italy.

→ 01 · Duration

60 minutes.

One call, one problem. Direct, prepared, actionable. No chitchat, no fluff, no 15-minute recaps at the end.

→ 02 · Format

Video call.

Google Meet. Bring notes, context, and the specific thing you are stuck on. Italian or English.

→ 03 · Price

Zero.

Forever free. I give back to the Italian startup ecosystem — one meaningful conversation at a time.

  • You've started building — even a hacky MVP counts.
  • You have a specific question, not "let's chat."
  • You're ready to be honest about what's not working.
  • You'll actually do something with what we discuss.
  • You're Italian, Italy-based, or building for Italy.

→ NOT A FIT IF

  • You want someone to validate your idea without pushback.
  • You're looking for funding, introductions or a team.
  • You haven't started building — come back when you have.
  • You want to "pick my brain" about AI in general.
  • You expect a second, third, fourth session.
