The Art of Generating Ideas
Coming soonWhere do ideas really come from? Why the process isn't obvious, and what most people get wrong about it.
I launched my first project when I was eleven. An online community about natural sciences that grew to 15,000+ active users within a year, one of the first of its kind in Italy. I did it because I was a lonely kid looking for friends. That impulse never really changed.
I'm Italian. Born in a small town near Venice, currently splitting time between Italy and Barcelona. I'm based at Norrsken, so if you're there too, say hi 👋.
In the last few years I've worked as a growth advisor, launching dozens of direct-to-consumer brands across Europe and the US. I helped launch a brand under the Moncler group, and contributed to building from scratch one of the most successful DTC brands in France in recent years. My background is a bit unusual: I'm a marketer who can actually build things. Most people pick one side. I never managed to choose.
I'm a nerd by default. I get obsessed with things that have nothing to do with my day job, go deep, and try to understand how they actually work. This past year I got into chess, picked tennis back up and I'm playing pretty well again. I also gave myself a challenge: get back to playing piano. Still fighting with scales. As a side project, just for fun, I'm building a personal AI agent that tracks my blood tests, diet, and training, and puts together a weekly plan based on the data. A tiny AI doctor that follows me around.

Synthetic AI Research Lab
StealthLLMsSynthetic ResearchConsumer Intelligence
Consumer brands burn months and six figures on qualitative research before every big call. We're replacing that loop. We build synthetic consumer panels: LLM agents demographically conditioned on a brand's real audience segments, each calibrated with its own background, preferences, biases, and purchase behavior. Then we run the research. Concept tests, purchase intent surveys, positioning sprints. The agents respond with natural language, not canned ratings. We map their open-ended answers to validated scales using semantic similarity scoring, so the output is statistically comparable to real panel data. Early benchmarks show 85%+ distributional similarity to human responses. Same depth, fraction of the time and cost.
