From the founder

Hey, it's Silvestro.

Silvestro, founder of Affonso

Why I built Affonso

I've been in affiliate marketing for over 12 years, managing programs for international brands, scaling partnerships, and even building my own affiliate network.

Over and over, I ran into the same issue. Tools were clunky, overpriced, and ended up creating more work instead of making affiliate growth easier.

So I built Affonso. A bootstrapped product, created solo and shaped by years in the trenches. No dev teams, no VC money. Just my hands-on experience distilled into software that actually solves the daily pains: hours of manual work and inaccurate tracking that makes it impossible to trust performance data.

If you're growing a SaaS, Affonso is built for you. It's the affiliate software I wish I had years ago. Easy to set up, fair in pricing, and designed to turn affiliates into a real growth engine for your SaaS.
