For over 14 years, I've been living and breathing product development—from building mobile apps that reached millions of users to architecting web platforms that transformed businesses. But here's what drives me: helping dreamers become builders.
I've seen too many passionate entrepreneurs pour their savings into ideas that weren't quite ready, or miss opportunities because they didn't know where to start. That's why I created Volpe Ventures—to give you the honest, experienced guidance you need before you invest thousands in development.

My mission is simple: Help you make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and build something meaningful. Whether your idea needs a pivot, validation, or a roadmap—I'll give you straight talk backed by real experience.
Important: This assessment provides expert guidance based on 14+ years of product experience. Results are not guaranteed. This is professional advice, not legal or tax consultation. Success depends on execution, market timing, and conditions.
Choose Your Assessment Package
From quick validation to comprehensive launch preparation
I focus specifically on app idea validation with 14+ years of hands-on product experience. You're not getting generic business advice—you're getting practical insights from someone who's built and launched real products.
Will you sign an NDA?
Absolutely. I'm happy to sign a mutual NDA before our call—no questions asked. Your idea and business details remain completely confidential. I take intellectual property protection seriously and understand that your concept is valuable. Simply send me your NDA (or I can provide a standard template), and we'll get it signed before our scheduled consultation.
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
You may reschedule your consultation once within a reasonable timeframe (at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment). If you need to cancel entirely, the $50 consultation fee is non-refundable to compensate for the reserved time slot. For packages over $50, cancellations made more than 48 hours in advance are eligible for a full refund minus the $50 booking fee.
Do you build the app yourself?
No, I provide strategic guidance and planning. For the Launch Ready package, I create clickable prototypes to help you communicate your vision, but I don't do full development. I can recommend trusted development partners.
What if my idea won't work?
Honest feedback is part of the value. If I see major red flags, I'll tell you directly and explain why. Sometimes the best advice is to pivot or wait—that saves you tens of thousands of dollars and months of time.
Can I upgrade from one package to another?
Yes! If you start with Quick Assessment and want to go deeper, you can upgrade to Business Builder or Launch Ready. The $50 Quick Assessment fee will be credited toward the higher tier package.
How long does each package take?
Quick Assessment: 48 hours after our call. Business Builder: ~2 weeks. Launch Ready: ~3 weeks. Timelines depend on your responsiveness and any revisions needed.
What format do I receive the deliverables?
Reports are delivered as PDF documents. Prototypes (Launch Ready only) are shared via Figma—no account needed to view and click through. All files are yours to keep and share with your team or investors.
What happens during the consultation call?
We'll have a structured conversation about your idea via video call (Zoom or Google Meet). I'll ask questions about your target market, competitors, business model, and goals. Come prepared with notes about your concept and any research you've done.
Is success guaranteed?
No. I provide expert analysis and recommendations based on experience, but market success depends on execution, timing, competition, and many other factors. This is professional guidance, not a guarantee.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay via Google Calendar's integrated payment system.
