For three months we will work intensely to help you go from idea and product, to a successful market launch.

The support we received leading into the launch and the connections they have provided over the past 12 months has been priceless.
Working with João and his team has been a tremendous and enriching experience. They were able to identify various pitfalls before they happen, and we were ultimately able to deliver to our community a well executed listing with very successful results.
It has been an extraordinary pleasure to work with the team to get the best possible start. We are still benefiting from each other’s help – like good old friends.
