01 / The origin

Learning to
build the idea.

In late 2022, Dante joined Bubble Immerse’s fifth cohort as a Founder in Residence. He brought Stooty Technologies, a vision for an operating system serving production in the creative economy. Bubble introduced the cohort as eleven founders whose ventures were shaped by lived experience.

During the residency, he worked across product thinking, user experience, visual development, and business strategy. The program gave him a way to turn a broad creative economy vision into a more concrete software product.

Bubble’s 2023 mentor story also featured Dante reflecting on how product mentorship helped him understand rapid iteration and serving a community through software.

From a creative economy vision to a working product discipline.

Community Champion

As an Immerse alumni ambassador, Dante helped connect alumni, support community activity, and contribute to programming. Bubble named him among its Spring 2025 Community Champs. See Bubble’s announcement ↗

03 / The practice now

Software creator.
Bubble AI expert.

Dante works with clients and project teams to shape product and AI strategies, then uses Bubble’s visual programming and design tools to move from concept to usable software. His work spans product direction, user journeys, workflows, prototypes, and AI-enabled experiences.

He brings design and systems thinking to each project: understand the people and the larger system, map the experience, build a testable product, and learn from how it is used.

Product strategy, visual development, and AI brought into one creative process.
04 / What carried forward

From product to ecosystem.

Bubble strengthened Dante’s approach to translating a vision into a product, working with mentors, and organizing a founder community. Today he brings that experience to client and venture projects as a software creator and Bubble AI expert, providing product and AI strategies through Bubble’s visual programming and design tools.

His product approach also draws on design and systems thinking developed through PipeDreamers’ work in the Stanford Accelerator for Learning’s digital learning design ecosystem. He connects user needs, workflows, learning, and technology before deciding what to build.

Cohort 8 was a later “AI for Good” chapter in the Immerse program. Dante’s connection to that announcement was his Community Champion role, not participation in Cohort 8.
