The Byte Shift

👋 Hi! はじめまして.

This is where I share what I’m learning while building products, growing startups, and working at the intersection of technology and creativity.

I’m Antonio Scapellato, founder and operator. Over the past few years, I’ve built products from 0→1, scaled them to millions of users, led growth initiatives, and worked with startups across consumer and AI.
