WEEK 6 // FEBRUARY 12, 2021

SEED CONTENT

// Opening remarks

Memory is not always reliable and when we think of 2020 it can be even worst. How much do you actually remember? For us it was very important to make an effort to stop and contemplate, month by month, how much we did and how we kept rolling. Check below or on our social media the fun video we made about it. Or listen to our special podcast episode with 3 entrepreneurship focused journalists.

In the meantime, don't skip some good news. Check below.

// We're podcasting y'all

Surprise! We dropped our last episode of the first season of Start Now. Cry Later a few days ago, but we could not go on a hiatus (albeit a short one) without a proper bang.

That is why we invited other two amazing journalists who work daily and fiercely with all things tech and entrepreneurship, Ana Pimentel from Observador and Diogo Nunes, from Dinheiro Vivo to talk with our amazing host Mariana Barbosa.
