How is Affonso different from affiliate software?

Affiliate software manages a program after a company brings the partners. Affonso is built to help companies find the right partners and make those relationships work.

Is the network already live?

The software, Affiliate Finder, and Marketplace are live today. Affonso is developing them into a two-sided network with stronger partner identity, matching, and reputation.

Who can become an Affonso partner?

Any person or business that reaches a relevant SaaS audience can become a distribution partner. The relationship must create measurable demand or revenue.

What does Affonso measure?

Affonso tracks the path from partnership to customer revenue. The goal is to show which relationships deserve more investment.

Does a company keep control of its program?

Yes. Each company controls who it works with and how the relationship runs.

02 / WHY AFFONSO EXISTS

What makes Affonso different

The software is the foundation. The network is the company.

Distribution starts before the first click

Tracking begins after you have a partner. Affonso also helps you find the people worth tracking.

Built for both sides of the relationship

SaaS companies need active partners. Partners need products their audience will care about. Affonso is building one place for both.

Success means partner revenue

Launching the program is only setup. The real outcome is an active partnership that brings customers.

Every result improves the next match

The product is being built so relationship and performance data can improve discovery over time.

Focused on SaaS distribution

Affonso is not a general creator marketplace. Every match asks whether a partner can bring the right SaaS product to the right audience.

04 / THE PEOPLE

The team behind Affonso

Built by someone who spent twelve years inside the problem.

Founder and operator

Silvestro Zinnanti

Silvestro spent more than 12 years running affiliate programs for international brands. The tools could track a sale, but they did little to create the relationship behind it.

He started Affonso in September 2024 to change that. The company is bootstrapped, founder-led, and focused on SaaS distribution.
