Six years ago, I took my first big leap into the startup ecosystem, joining Benjamin Lambert , Leo Capelossi, and Diogo at Demium’s chapter in Lisbon as an intern. Those months weren’t just about learning. They were about a wonderful team enabling the Portuguese ecosystem, supporting early-stage founders to achieve great results and build remarkable products while having fun. After all, I’ve learnt that building a startup might seem straightforward, but it demands resilience, boldness, and 5 ‘things’: 1. Validating an idea that solves a real problem. 2. Someone to build it. 3. Someone to sell it. 4. A laptop. 5. Solid internet connection. No perfect timing, no excuses, just the will to make it work. It’s simple, but not easy. At Simplifyer, that’s exactly what my team and I are doing. We’re reshaping the retail experience by turning receipts into powerful engagement tools.
