We are Founders Founders

Take a look at our projects that support founders, entrepreneurs and marketing & sales experts.

‘Exit Stories’ aim to portray in video, success cases of startups that have been acquired by big companies, serving as an example and inspiration to the community of the portuguese startup ecosystem, demonstrating that it’s possible to build global projects, well-invested and with successful exits, from our Porto region. It were 6 videos, from 6 different companies, each one, with a live premiere session with some good Q&A to the founder.
