About Us

Hey, I am Mattia Settimelli, founder, brand builder & business developer. And Worldfounder is my new platform for B2B consulting services.

Way too often SMBs (PMI), startups and even scaleups remain focused on their domestic markets, thinking globalization, internationalization, cross-border operations are only for big corporations and conglomerates. But being multinational today is a must, not a choice, to really compete in the global business. And the bias that fiduciaries are too costly or opaque to be involved is totally wrong. That’s why I put my 20+ years of living and working globally at use to pre-vet a big number of A+ partnerships and negotiate affordable services to go global from day 1 even for solopreneurs and small companies.

I decided to set up this hybrid platform between a consulting service, a marketing brokerage firm, a SaaS and a glocal businesses directory.

Key points about WF

I'm a solo founder and this is a one-man company, powered by AI and A+ global partners. Solopreneurs, small teams and startups are our natural customers, but also more structured SMBs can benefit from our services and intel.
We are implementing proprietary AI automations, scripts and processes by our NINJAI parent, to create extraordinary matchmaking features.
I firmly believe that the human component remain crucial. So at any time, you can book a call with me or my team to create your bespoke business development.
AI is running and evolving daily, so check back the platform often, as we add or change details weekly.
I walk the talk. What you find here is because me or someone on the team had experience with it. I personally know and am in touch with every single partner I add here.

WorldFounder is now a public archive of cross-border business notes and resources

WorldFounder began as an independent research and publishing project focused on global business, regulation, and cross-border execution.

Its role was to document how founders and operators navigate complexity once businesses move beyond a single jurisdiction.

That work is now complete.

The material published here remains available as an archive and reference layer.

Most current work informed by this research is applied in active tools and systems built elsewhere.

WorldFounder is intentionally quiet and not maintained as an active service or media platform.

Where active work happens now

Much of the thinking developed here is now applied in live tools and systems built under a different project.

That work focuses on:

AI applied to regulated business workflows
decision-making where automation meets legal and operational constraints
reducing ambiguity in complex, multi-jurisdiction scenarios

You can find that work at:

For complex cases

Limits of automation

Most scenarios described here are now handled through software or documented processes.

Some situations exceed what software can safely automate.

In limited cases, manual review may be available by referral.

WF primarily exists as an informational archive

WorldFounder is intentionally quiet.

No regular publishing schedule.

No active offerings.

No updates unless something materially new emerges.

Past work remains accessible for reference.
