What mentees say
“Dragos completely transformed my approach to finding a business idea in just 35 minutes. He saved me months of building the wrong product by handing me an actionable playbook anchored in deep problem discovery rather than speculative ideas. One of the best mentorship sessions I have ever had. He truly has a passion for teaching and sharing.”
“Dragos was amazing! Even though he wasn't in my particular industry, he messaged me beforehand to ask if I still wanted to meet with him because of this. He was sensational and gave me a new perspective on my portfolio with lots of feedback in such detail. I would definitely recommend meeting with Dragos if you need advice on business and pathways.”
“Amazing advice for my next career move by Dragos. He knows what he is talking about and is really keen to help you with his advice. Loved the session.”
