Hey, I’m Silvestro 👋

I’ve been building, selling, and growing things online since 2018. Over the years, I’ve worked across sales, marketing, SaaS, and entrepreneurship, from running my own agency to co-founding a content advertising business and working in Legal AI.

Today, I’m building Affonso, an affiliate software for SaaS companies.

I like simple products, lean businesses, and using software and AI to get more done with less. No huge teams, unnecessary complexity, or startup theatre. Just useful products, smart systems, and the freedom to build on your own terms.

This page is basically the shortcut to what I’m working on, sharing, and exploring.

Talk soon, Silvestro
