ROBERTO CANGIALOSI · BARCELONA

I work at the intersection of AI, technology and operations.

I find emerging technologies, turn them into real projects, and build things of my own along the way.

THINGS I'VE BUILT

I like building things.

Some become businesses. Some remain experiments. Some fail. That's part of the point.

BEXO · LEAD GENERATION

A business designed to run without me.

An SEO-led acquisition business: Bexo generates the demand, specialised partners deliver the concierge service, and I earn a fee when a lead becomes a client.

● EXPERIMENT IN PROGRESS

This product doesn't exist. Yet.

A cosmetics fake-door experiment built to test demand before manufacturing.

Born in Monge campaign
BORN IN MONGE

A clothing brand built around a place.

Product, creative direction and community around Mongerbino. Around 100 pieces sold.

VIVOGREEN → DOMUS GREEN

A startup attempt that did not work.

VivoGreen was my attempt to digitise residential solar quoting. The startup did not find product-market fit; the learnings now feed into the family business, Domus Green.
