On May 18th, our startuppers welcomed Pedro Cunha – Investment Manager at Portugal Ventures, as their mentor.
We started the day with a flash-pitch, some of them where a little bit nervous.
Pedro, after listening to all the flash pitches, presented himself and talked about Portugal Venture, a venture capital firm that is part of Banco Português de Fomento group, that currently has more than 130 portfolio companies.
It invests in startups in the pre-seed, seed and series A stages, offering innovative solutions for the international market in the digital, engineering & industry, life sciences, and tourism sectors.
After this, the mentor started the one-on-one mentoring with each startup, so they could pitch longer and to get to know more about them.
It started at the end of the morning and continued after lunch throughout all afternoon.
On May 20th, we received the visit of The Regional Government of Madeira, we had the pleasure to welcome Miguel Albuquerque into our working space, who had the oportunity to talk and interact with all of our Startups.
It was an important moment, all the effort that we are putting into this, is to give tools so the startup’s can improve and to attract business to Madeira. To pique up the curiosity of our Regional Government of Madeira, shows us that we are on the right track.
