About
Simon Vasconcelos Lee is a French-Portuguese entrepreneur and artificial intelligence expert. Trained in pure mathematics (MP* preparatory classes at Janson-de-Sailly and Condorcet, magistère degree from Paris XI University in Orsay), he built his first websites as early as 2002: the LeeX Network activity was born.
His first company, launched in event marketing, failed in less than two years. He rebuilt himself in the field, selling door to door, the school that forged his core conviction as an entrepreneur: a product is only as good as your ability to sell it.
An expatriate since 2009, between Europe and the Indian Ocean, and an avid traveller, he built Simafri, serving clients in 42 countries: managed websites, business management software, web and email hosting. In 2013 he invented his signature model: the all-inclusive subscription website (creation, hosting, domain, support), which his Serenity range now industrialises with AI. Simafri also helps its clients better control what AIs say about them.
Artificial intelligence now sits at the heart of his work, on two fronts. The fundamental one: studying and experimenting with the models, a practice he began when TensorFlow was released in 2015 and intensified after ChatGPT, which he regards as a technological revolution on a par with the printing press or electricity. The applied one: creating and operating AI companies, with Epovest, which measures how visible businesses are in AI answers and gives them the levers to shape it, and Stileex, the data house that feeds AI systems with verified data.
As a volunteer, he also carries JesusBYS, a multilingual online Christian community: to place himself, quite simply, in the service of Jesus.
He lives and works in French, English and Portuguese: the three languages of this website.

Journey
From preparatory classes to door-to-door sales, from a first failure to building companies across three countries, all the way to mathematics returning through artificial intelligence: my story, told in the first person.
