What we shipped in 2025


2025 was the year everyone talked about AI.

We chose to build instead.

Fifteen newsletter issues on systematic AI implementation. But more importantly: actual tools for founders, AI agents for enterprise partners, ecosystem programs for institutions.

Here's what M Studio shipped in 2025.

What We Built for Institutions

Italian Trade Agency - US Clean Tech Ecosystem Strategy

Designed and executed comprehensive US clean tech ecosystem mapping. Engaged 227 experts across the ecosystem. Consulted 65 SMEs on market entry and partnership strategies.

Delivered actionable intelligence for institutional market development—not theoretical reports, but systematic pathways for companies entering new markets.

Web3 Nexus Program (Solana Foundation)

Developed and launched a 12-week Web3 acceleration program. Powered by Solana Foundation, executed by M Studio.

What We Built for Enterprise

Custom AI Architecture for Volkswagen

Built multiple AI agents for US industrial market mapping. Systematically qualified and identified hundreds of leads.
Custom systems that create competitive advantages—not off-the-shelf tool recommendations.

What We Built for Founders

SuperAd: Multivariate Testing for Meta

Built a systematic validation tool for ad testing. Validates desirability before you scale spend. Identifies your ICP and validates funnels with data, not assumptions.

Currently onboarding early users. Reply "SuperAd" if you want to validate your idea, test desirability, or validate ads before scaling.

Elite Founders: A Safe Space for Solo Founders

Real results from 2025: One member grew 130% in a single month after systematic implementation. We built a custom N8N automation that identified 17,000+ qualified leads in under 20 minutes for another member. Demo show-up rates improved from 40% to 65% using our ICP signal frameworks.

But beyond the systems and results, Elite Founders is a safe space for founders—especially solo founders carrying the full burden of their business. A place where you can be honest about what's breaking, what you don't know, and what keeps you up at night.

We're excited to start working with new members in January 2026.

Reply "Elite Founders" to explore whether this fits where you are now.

Market Validation Sprint

Completed our first cohort with Scott Hindell. Systematic validation frameworks before building—so founders don't waste months building the wrong thing.

More cohorts launching in 2026.

What We're Building for Community

SPIKE Series Evolution

Working on our "next experience" with new and returning partners. Exclusive curated evenings connecting founders, investors, and operators who are building, not just networking (Sports and Media tech).

SPIKE @ PEAK Sports Tech Conference (Las Vegas, April 2026)

Producing a panel on building elite sports ecosystems.

While PEAK's programming typically showcases individual innovations and AI trends, our panel reveals the unsexy daily discipline that builds sustainable competitive advantages: the 5am product validation sessions, the infrastructure negotiations that create testing grounds, the capital strategies and family office investment models that turn regional hubs into global powerhouses.

Elite sports ecosystems don't emerge by accident—they're built through deliberate integration of infrastructure, institutional capital, media partnerships, and operational expertise. We're deconstructing that formula for investors actively deploying capital in the sports sector.

What We're Building for 2026

Evaluating IPs, companies, and founders across sectors—cyberphysical, sports tech, media tech, and beyond. We stay tech-agnostic but focused on systematic builders creating defensible advantages.

Selecting Elite Founders members for January 2026. Expanding custom AI agent development for enterprise partners. Building new institutional programs.

The convergence: Mediars Studio and M Accelerator are integrating even more deeply. We're not just building tools OR helping founders—we're doing both simultaneously. Building AI systems while teaching systematic implementation. Executing enterprise projects while running founder programs. Designing institutional strategies while creating community experiences.

2025 proved we can operate at every level. 2026 is about doing it all, systematically.

We shipped tools, built systems, delivered results across founder, enterprise, and institutional levels.

Happy Holidays

P.S. - This year we also implemented new systematic SEO/GEO strategies on our blog—growing from 4,000 to 11,000 monthly visitors. Proof that SEO still works for small businesses when done systematically, not randomly. Want to know how? I can write a detailed breakdown in an article or newsletter issue. Let me know.

sales process documentation

Ask most founders: "What's your sales process?" They describe 3 steps: Find prospects Have a call Send proposal and close Watch them actually sell and you'll count 23 distinct steps—research methods, outreach timing, email sequences, call frameworks, follow-up triggers, objection responses, proposal customization, negotiation tactics. The process exists. It's just invisible. Living in your head, not in a system someone else could execute. Last week you identified WHAT to systematize first...

You closed your first 20 customers yourself. Every deal felt different, but you made it work. Scrappy research. Personal outreach. Calls that went long because you cared. Follow-ups you remembered because the list was manageable. Now deal #21 is stalling for reasons you can't diagnose. #22 slipped through because you forgot to follow up. #23 went cold after what felt like a great demo. This isn't bad luck. You've hit the ceiling. As Scott Hindell puts it: "Movement is associated with process....

The AI Acceleration Advantage #14 Two founders, same revenue, same open req for Sales Development. Founder A hired three SDRs at $60K each. Total investment: $180K annually plus onboarding time, management overhead, and tool licenses.

Six months later: Founder A's team generated 450 qualified leads. Founder B's...
