"Wellcome to our global communication network! This is our
first international newsletter, dedicated to inform not only
all
those who have in the past colaborated with us, but also everyone
who, around the world, is interested to know what is happening in
Portugal about Venture Capital and Entrepreneurship."
Check our opinion about investment trends in the text:
The Future Stars of Venture Capital
"It's important for the entrepreneur to know the tendencies
that, in each moment, are being followed by Venture Capitalists, I
mean, which are the hot sectors that they identify to make their

because, following the tendency is, probably, the best way to fail."

Interview to Francisco
Banha
by
Quality Magazine
"I believe that the main challenge is still the creation of a healthy environment level if we want growth to happen! This is what nature itself clearly shows us. It's certain that we don't make things grow in the nature, despite that, we can create suitable conditions for growth to
happen."
