12-Month Mentorship & Mastermind For Data & Tech Professionals

Create a risk-free €10k–€20k-a-month freelance career you can run from anywhere.

With the skills you already have. Without applying.

This is not just a course. It is a 12-month mentorship and mastermind: a professional network of freelancers and recruiters that took more than a decade to build. You plug into it, and work starts finding you. You earn more, you work less, and you live a life of more freedom.

Who this is for
  • You have at least 1 year of work experience in data, BI, engineering, development, cybersecurity, QA, AI, or project/program management.
  • You have 4 to 8 hours a week to focus on the mastermind.
  • You are willing to invest in yourself. Time, energy, and money. You see the fastest route to freelancing as a shortcut worth investing in, not as a cost.

I built this because of something I kept seeing: most people don't understand how freelancing actually works. They focus on all the wrong things.

There's too much obsession online with how difficult the job market is, how AI is taking over your job, and how it's harder than ever to break into freelancing risk-free and find long-term, consistent clients because the competition is higher than ever.

That's because you're playing the wrong game. Nobody is focusing on the boring stuff that actually gets you into freelancing: understanding how the freelance market really works, positioning yourself on LinkedIn the right way, and growing or becoming part of an already existing network filled with recruiters and other freelancers.

Once you do this, you'll have a waiting line of recruiters and clients who come to you with high-paying freelance projects and contracts, without you having to apply.

The other thing that's missing is real accountability and real support. That means the ability to DM a coach whenever you like and get help in a private setting. That means someone checking in to make sure you're actually moving, not just watching course videos. That means talking with other freelancers and recruiters about potential contracts, projects, and clients.

The aim: land a freelance contract within 3 months that 2x to 3x’s your current income, or at least have a system in place you simply put on repeat until you do land a contract. We keep working with you until you do.

How it works · The four pillars
1

Get Ready

You understand exactly how the freelance game works before you play it. How the market operates, which type of freelancing fits you, what your maximum rate should be and how to keep maximizing it, and how to handle notice periods, business setup, insurance, accounting, and taxes. No more guessing.

2

Get Found

We position you on LinkedIn so the right opportunities come to you, without being a cringy LinkedIn influencer. Our LinkedIn Magnet System combines LinkedIn SEO, so recruiters and clients find you without you doing anything, with an AI-driven content system that keeps you visible without it becoming a full-time job.

Get Hired

Interviews are worthless if you don't convert them. You get interview and sales mastery: live mock interviews, recruiter insight from the other side of the table, a resume that always gets picked, and applying to jobs nobody else is applying for. You learn to sell yourself and your solutions at the highest price.

Get Connected

The end goal: you never have to use LinkedIn again to land freelance projects. You just get a call or an email from a client or recruiter who wants to work with you. Systems run in the background attracting contracts. You get free access to the private job board insidejobs.tech with hidden roles that never reach LinkedIn or Indeed, and a community where freelancers and recruiters share contracts daily.

And all of it happens inside one living mastermind: weekly coaching calls, guest experts like Justin Welsh and Lara Acosta, live meetups and mastermind dinners. You don't learn from one person. You learn from people who each master a different part of the game.

What you get
  • 12 months of guided mentorship with a clear path from where you are to your first contract and beyond.
  • 2 to 3 live group coaching calls every week with 5 specialist coaches. All recorded if you miss one.
  • DM access to coaches for help in a private setting, plus check-ins so you keep moving.
  • A personal LinkedIn profile audit by Stefan. Your profile is the single highest-leverage asset you have as a freelancer, so it gets Stefan's personal attention.
  • The private job board insidejobs.tech with hidden freelance roles that never reach LinkedIn or Indeed.
  • 1-on-1 CV and interview session with a recruiter who has reviewed 10,000+ CVs.
  • 10+ hours of step-by-step training covering rates, contracts, outreach, and getting hired.
  • In-house accountants for monthly Q&A on accounting, company structures, and taxes.
  • Guest expert sessions with names like Justin Welsh and Lara Acosta.
  • Live mastermind meetups and dinners across the world.
  • Lifetime access to the community. No recurring fees. Ever.

And these are just the wins we can show. Members land new contracts every month, and some choose to stay anonymous.

Live meetups

This network exists in real life too. Mastermind meetups, dinners, and retreats where members and coaches meet, share contracts, and level up together.

Straight answers
"Isn't freelancing risky?"

One employer, one paycheck, one decision away from a layoff. That is risk. Diversified clients lined up through a network, plus a guarantee behind you, is the safer position. And with the advent of AI, permanent employees are becoming the bigger risk for companies. Flexible specialists are exactly who they want to work with. Stefan runs his entire business on freelancers: from his video editor to his coaches to his sales team. Ask any freelancer in the group.

"Can I do this next to my full-time job?"

Most members start exactly there. Faraz kept his job for his first two months while freelancing 20 hours a week. Tobias and Lorenzo landed their contracts while still employed. You build the pipeline before you need it, then decide.

"Is my experience really enough?"

If you have 1+ years of real experience, yes. Companies pay for outcomes, not years. We have members who felt exactly this doubt now billing €90 to €125 an hour. The skills are not the gap. The system is.

Next step

You have seen the system, the coaches, the numbers, and the guarantee. If we both feel the fit, we get you into the community today and your 3.3 months start now.
