About
Founder Story
Class One Capital was built on a simple belief: real engineering, grounded in real experience, beats hype every time.
Elias Silva
Founder & Lead Developer
Elias Silva is a developer and technical founder whose path runs through two worlds: the cloud and the markets. With more than seven years of professional AWS experience, he has spent his career designing and shipping scalable, production-grade systems.
His journey into financial technology began in 2019, when he started trading and developed a firsthand understanding of how markets actually behave. In 2020, that experience turned into code — building algorithmic trading systems with MQL5 and learning to translate strategy into reliable software.
More recently, Elias has been building AI-powered systems — autonomous agents that research, analyze, and execute strategies in real-time. From competitive intelligence to long-term strategic planning, these intelligent systems continuously adapt and deliver actionable insights inside the platforms they power.
In January 2026, Elias Silva founded Class One Capital LLC to bring these threads together: deep cloud expertise, real markets fluency, and a commitment to building solutions that solve genuine problems.
“Building real solutions, not hype.”
