Built by a solopreneur who had no other choice.
MentorMe wasn't born from a business plan. It was born from necessity — and a 21-year health crisis that forced Italo to build systems that worked without him.
Italo spent 21 years battling Crohn's disease. Hospitalizations were frequent. Certainty was rare. He learned something most entrepreneurs never have to face head-on: you cannot build a business that depends entirely on you being present and healthy.
So he built systems. Systems that ran without him. Systems that could answer emails, create content, handle operations, and drive strategy — even when he couldn't get out of bed. Those systems scaled into multiple brands generating multiple streams of income.
When AI made those systems available to everyone, Italo saw the opportunity to give every solopreneur what he had built for himself. That became MentorMe.
When Apple was facing some of the biggest challenges of its era, John found an opportunity to help turn things around. His laser focus on turning massive problems into scalable solutions led him to close a single nine-figure invoice — a deal so significant that Steve Jobs personally flew in to meet with him and replicate his sales system across Apple's entire sales division.
After leading the strategic division for 12 years, John was appointed Director of Education, designing and executing Apple's strategy for Latin America and the Caribbean. He led all aspects of the education business — sales, reseller channels, marketing, and content teams — for 24 years.
After Apple, John's consulting strategies helped clients in the education space create over a quarter of a billion dollars in valuation.
At MentorMe, John brings the same principle that made Apple Education legendary: the most powerful tools in the world should be simple enough for anyone to pick up and run. He believed in MentorMe so deeply that he invested in the platform and personally mentors Italo with strategic, enterprise-level guidance. That's the standard we built to.

What we believe
Simplicity is a strategy.
If it's not simple, it's not done yet. Every system, every module, every template is tested against one question: would a founder actually use this?
Real operators build real things.
The advice in MentorMe comes from people who've done the work — not coaches who learned from coaches.
AI should work for you.
Not the other way around. The tools are only as good as the system behind them. We teach the system.
