Join founders, investors, and insiders across business, media, & government who read Conviction.

HI, I'M EVELIO SILVERA.

I’m the founder and investor behind Conviction. My work lives inside businesses — building, investing, and navigating markets in real time.

Most people outsource their thinking. They follow consensus, chase noise, and mistake activity for progress.

Conviction is my response.

It’s a free weekly briefing on markets, leadership, and America’s economic future — written for founders, operators, and investors who think clearly, act decisively, and build for the long term.

When I’m not writing Conviction, I’m building and investing across finance, technology, and energy — with a long view of opportunity in America.
