Diego Basto Piamonte

Founder building AI-native products that take ideas to validated scopes and fast launches for solopreneurs and players.
AustraliaWhat I'm looking for
I’m building CoBuildr, an AI-powered companion that guides solopreneurs and “vibe coders” from raw idea to validated, scoped product—solving the gap where shipping software is easy, but building the right thing isn’t.
With SEND IT, I built and launched a free-to-play social Formula 1 tipping app with head-to-head driver matchups, public/private leagues, and play against friends—moving from first commit to launch in under 2 weeks and growing via organic growth.
Before founding, I managed BHP’s product portfolio, including a $200M USD digital transformation portfolio, and led a supply chain planning product suite delivering $17.5M AUD EBITDA uplift while running a hybrid team of 6+ across BAs, developers, and testers.
I’ve also built and deployed operational apps across WA mining sites, cutting manual effort by >95% and reducing driver waittimes by 40%—and later led delivery of 10+ high-impact digital products for clients across APAC.
