Why us?
Unsolicited Apps is a founder-led studio, so every client works directly with Ilias Salvatore Sleutelaar from strategy through to launch. There are no account managers and no hand-offs.
We focus on fintech, venture capital and real-world assets. We already understand stablecoins, tokenisation and regulated products, and we turn them into brands and products that both everyday users and institutional investors trust.
Our work starts with go-to-market. Before designing anything, we define who the product is for, how it will launch and what success looks like, then build the brand and product to match.
Recent work includes the Fasset Card x Tether launch, a gold-backed neobanking card available in 125 countries, and the product site for OWN Network, a Layer 2 blockchain for real-world assets.
Ilias brings experience across product, growth and brand: digital strategy at YEEZY, growth and product at Flooz, and API product strategy for Salesforce e-commerce partners. For each project we bring in specialist designers and developers, so the team fits the work.
