About Mateo

Psychologist for Founders | Business Growth Consultant

“The Great Reconquest begins within.”

Professional Biography

  • Early Path

    I am Mateo Silvera, a psychologist and Gestalt psychotherapist. After about four and a half years studying to become a psychologist and then three more years specializing in Gestalt therapy, I embarked on my professional journey.

  • Entrepreneurial Experience

    I first worked in a traditional job, but soon became the owner and CEO of the same company.

    My job was to look after tugboats in the port of Montevideo. Later, together with my wife, I founded a consulting firm focused on soft skills such as leadership, negotiation, decision-making, and emotional management.

  • Unique Methodology

    Drawing from my own struggles with burnout and the isolation that often comes with being a founder, I created a unique methodology. That’s how the KOYNOS system and the B2better were born—designed to give entrepreneurs clarity and guidance without exhausting themselves along the way.

  • Approach

    What sets me apart is that I’m not a traditional coach; in fact, I call myself an “anti-coach.” I am a psychologist for founders, and my service is completely tailor-made, adapted to each client’s personal and business momentum. Beyond weekly sessions, my clients have direct access to me whenever they need guidance, so they always feel supported.

  • Mission

    My mission is for every founder to experience their “great reconquest”—to reignite their vision and purpose, make intelligent business decisions, and perform at their best without losing their humanity.

  • Recognition & Mentorship

    I’ve worked with over a thousand entrepreneurs and collaborated with renowned leaders such as Ismael Cala, Pablo Brenner, Nicolás Jodal, and Guillermo González. I’ve also worked with professionals from other fields, including football player Andrés Scotti and Argentine actor Gastón Pauls. My work has been recognized by the Arab-Uruguayan Chamber of Commerce and Industry for my contributions to psychology, entrepreneurship, and applied innovation. I am also part of the global Endeavor network as a program mentor.


The Story Behind

The Great Reconquest

Some call themselves coaches. Others, consultants..

I am neither.
I am a psychologist for founders — one who’s lived their very battles.

The Descent

I know what it feels like to carry the weight of a company on your shoulders.

To face the silence of leadership, where everyone looks to you for answers — but no one is there when you need guidance.
I’ve been there: leading a tugboat company in Montevideo, and later, co-founding a consulting firm with my wife.

The Turning Point

I know the darkness of burnout — the endless pressure, the loss of clarity, the isolation.
And it was through that crucible that I found my mission: to help founders conquer their greatest challenge — themselves.

The Method

That’s why I created the KOYNOS and B2Better frameworks—
not born in theory, but forged in the battlefield of business and psychology.

The Philosophy

I’m not here to “motivate” you.

I’m not here to give you empty affirmations.

I’m here to help you reclaim your fire, your purpose, and your clarity.

So you can lead with strength, make intelligent decisions,
and grow your business without losing yourself in the process.

“This is what I call The Great Reconquest.”
