“Meetup in Lisbon presents internationalization opportunities for Santa Catarina startups”
Original headline: “Meetup em Lisboa apresenta oportunidades de internacionalização de startups catarinenses”
The acceleration program that first backed Sizebay covers a meetup in Lisbon on taking Santa Catarina companies abroad, and uses the company's European operation as the reference case.
What the piece reports
A programme citing a company it accelerated is a particular kind of evidence: the people who watched the work from the inside, saying publicly that it went somewhere.
The meetup was held at Beta-i, Lisbon's main innovation hub, on the Monday that opened the Web Summit week, organised by the Sebrae programme with Portuguese institutions and investor groups in the room, Core Angels Atlantic among them. Sizebay shared its recent trajectory from the panel, and the piece records what that trajectory had just produced: an operation opened in the city of Coimbra inside the IPN incubator, staff already in Portugal working on new business for Europe, and a Web Summit in 2018, attended on an invitation from Apex and StartOut Brasil, that had put the company in front of more than 15 potential investors. By then Marcelo Bastos had been living in Portugal for two months.
