About Us
So here's the thing about business education. Most of it's boring as hell. We started Studio Mastery because we got tired of watching smart people sit through irrelevant courses that felt designed for another decade. Our courses? They're built by people who've actually run businesses, made mistakes, and learned what matters. We're not here to fill your head with theory nobody uses. We're here because we remember what it felt like to not know this stuff — and we want to make your learning curve way shorter than ours was.
Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.
Our Mission & Our Vision
Our Mission
We teach practical business skills that solve real problems. No fluff. No corporate jargon that means nothing. Just honest instruction from people who've been in the trenches, paired with students ready to actually build something better.
Our Vision
Imagine a world where business education doesn't feel like punishment. Where people learn fast, remember what matters, and walk out ready to create real change. That's what we're building here in Lisboa and beyond.

The people behind Studio Mastery
Carolina Pereira
Founder & Lead Instructor
Ran two startups, crashed one spectacularly, scaled the other to 8 figures. Now obsessed with teaching others to skip some of the painful lessons she learned the hard way.
Miguel Santos
Operations & Systems Teacher
Spent 13 years untangling business operations for companies that were growing too fast and thinking too slow. Makes spreadsheets exciting (somehow).
Joana Costa
Marketing & Growth Strategist
Built marketing teams from scratch at three different companies. Believes in experiments over hunches. Data nerd who actually understands humans too.
We’re a team that values ownership, clarity, and growth. We celebrate wins, learn fast, and keep client outcomes at the center.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Brutal Honesty
We don't sugarcoat. Business is hard. We tell you what works, what doesn't, and why you shouldn't waste time on shortcuts that sound good but don't deliver.
Real Experience Over Theory
Every lesson comes from someone who's actually done it. Not from a textbook. Not from a consultant who hasn't touched the work in years.
You Learn By Doing
Watching videos doesn't change your business. Building, testing, and failing does. We design courses around projects that matter.
We Actually Care
This isn't a transaction. We're invested in whether you succeed. Your wins feel like ours. Your stuck points keep us up at night too.

Our Story
Studio Mastery started in 2016 when a group of us got together over too much coffee. We'd each taught business concepts in different ways — some through startups, some through corporate roles, others through consulting. We kept noticing the same pattern: traditional courses missed the mark. People needed context. They needed to hear from someone who'd actually failed and come back stronger. So we built something different. Started small with 12 students in a tiny studio on Rua do Carmo. Now we work with hundreds annually, but we've kept that original scrappiness alive.
