Find the next solopreneur opportunity before everyone else does.
I'm Dmitri. I publish deep research on an emerging niche the moment its viability for solopreneurs is validated: the wedge, the math, the build playbook. Free for community members.
What community members get
I find trends at the early stage where demand is already proven but the competition has not arrived yet. You get the research and the build playbook free, in your inbox, as soon as a trend clears the bar.
Trend research
Sourced, opinionated analysis of an emerging niche each time one is validated as viable for solopreneurs. The wedge, the math, the skip-this-if. Primary sources only, no rehashed news.
Build playbooks
Operational guides with architecture, agent-ready prompts, and 4-to-6-week timelines. Hand them to your coding agent and ship.
Emerging trends dashboard
Live watchlist of niches I am tracking but have not published yet, with early signals, anti-pattern flags, and readiness scores. Coming very soon.
