Francesco

I believe I'd make a strong co-founder because I bring a rare hybrid of creative intuition, strategic thinking, and executional grit. I’ve lived through the chaos of being an independent artist — dealing with the noise of releases, inconsistent marketing, and scattered tools — and I’ve turned that lived experience into a structured, product-driven mindset. I don’t just understand the problem — I’ve felt it deeply.
My background bridges both music and product: I studied at Abbey Road Institute, released my own work (including music now gaining industry attention), and collaborated with A&Rs and execs from major labels like Atlantic. But beyond that, I’ve been obsessively building systems to help creators navigate their careers in a more intentional, sustainable way.

That’s why I started building Altidus — not just a platform, but a movement. We’ve bootstrapped and launched Artist OS, grown a community of 200+ artists, and tested tools like an AI content planner and release manager. All with zero capital. What drives me isn’t just the tech — it’s building tools that actually work for artists who are tired of one-size-fits-all “growth hacks.”

As a co-founder, I’m not looking for someone to just write code — I’m looking for a partner who wants to challenge how we think about creative careers. Someone who believes culture needs new infrastructure, and who’s excited to build that from the ground up.

I bring vision, deep domain insight, a bias toward action, and the resilience of someone who’s already building in the dark. What I need now is someone who can match that energy — and help architect the technical backbone of what could be the next big shift in music-tech. If that’s you, I’d love to talk.

Hey! I’m Francesco — a producer, and founder with a deep background in music and creative strategy. I studied at Abbey Road Institute, worked on official music releases (including one now gaining traction with majors), and I’ve collaborated with A&Rs from Atlantic Records and other execs in the industry.

I started Altidus: a community and creative startup to help independent artists build real careers. We launched Artist OS (used by 200+ artists) and tested tools like an AI content planner and release manager — all with zero capital. We’ve built a community of 200+ artists and early feedback has been amazing.

Now, I’m looking for a technical co-founder who believes music needs new systems — not just platforms — and wants to help build the tools that creative people actually need to grow. If that’s you, let’s talk.
