Hey everyone, I’m Bernardo 👋
About eleven years ago, we started our first startup with nothing but an idea and a lot of mistakes to learn from. It was a wild journey that taught us how hard it is to go from idea to real product without the right guidance or community. Since then, through Blackstone Studio, we’ve helped launch dozens of MVPs, supported founders who’ve raised over $150M, and been part of 9 successful exits. Now we’ve built something for the next generation of founders: First-Time Founders — a free Skool community created for people who are building their very first product. We know how challenging it is to bring an idea to life, so we want to make that process easier for others. To kick things off, we’re doing our first Giveaway, where one member will have their MVP built from idea to launch by our team. The winner won’t just get a product — they’ll build it alongside us, learning step by step how to avoid the mistakes that most first-time founders make. If you’re building your first product or about to start, we’d love to have you join us We’re building the kind of community we wish existed when we were just starting out.
