PRESENTING OUR VENTURES

ABOUT THE PORTUGUESE ECO-SYSTEM The Portuguese ecosystem has developed significantly in the last 10 years and despite having faced a macroeconomics downturn and mostly because of it’s world-class talent pool (Portugal ranks 9th out of 60 for Access to Talent (EDCi)) has grown significantly in terms of entrepreneurial players (from startups to incubators, accelerators and even VCs), and now Lisbon is even considered to be in the top 5 of best performing startup communities in Europe. This growth and maturity, as well as international openness has been independently recognized by Forbes, Financial Times, Bloomberg, VentureBeat, among many others as a vibrant and reference entrepreneurial ecosystem, and that has also been mostly confirmed by every international investor, accelerator, and start-up that decided to set a stronger footprint in Portugal or only visited Portugal for the Websummit with nearly 100,000 people visiting the event in 2018. The ecosystem has also been able to self-accelerate considering important international deals both on funding and acquisitions with startups like Besttables (acquired by Tripadvisor), Digisfera (Acquired by Google), Feedzai (funded by Sapphire Ventures, Omega Venture Partners and others), Talkdesk (funded by Salesforce Ventures, DFJ, and others), Unbabel (funded by Salesforce Ventures and Samsung Next Ventures, among others), Outsystems (funded by Portugal Ventures, North Bridge Venture Partners, Goldman Sachs among others ) Farfetch (IPO’ed, and the first “Portuguese Unicorn”), Defined Crowd (funded by Portugal Ventures, Sony, Amazon, Mastercard, among others), Aptoide (funded by Portugal Ventures, Golden Gate Ventures,Gobi Ventures, e.ventures), Fibersensing (funded by Portugal Ventures and acquired by HBM), Anubisnetworks (funded by Portugal Ventures and acquired by Bitsight) and many others!

The ecosystem is so vibrant and the pool of talent so remarkable that international corporations have setup local operations in Portugal, such as Euronext, Daimler, BMW, Google, Amazon, Uber, Zalando, Vestas, Pipedrive, Fujitsu, CGI, Huawei and Microsoft, among others. The ecosystem has progressed as a whole in a stable and fruitful way, and Portugal Ventures as a relevant player has strategically been active and fostering the ecosystem by partnering with almost all incubators, accelerators and Universities in Portugal, supporting all entrepreneurial programs, mentoring teams, funding most promising early stage startups, bridging international connections with other startups, corporates and investors, particularly leveraging its network in the USA, UK, DACH region and Asia by accelerating access to international business and capital and exit opportunities! That is our history and our current stage, but we trust that, together, with you, we can do better, faster and longer, with a common ground to grow on international connections, benefits and growth! Join us in this ride to grow global … Portuguese style (startups)!
