Last Friday, we had a fantastic business breakfast: Success Stories of Businesses in Portugal Started by Expats. We not only delved into inspiring case studies but also discussed why companies often relocate as they scale. It was truly uplifting to hear statements like "You're surrounded by the top 1% of people" and "Lisbon Founders brings together the best and supports expats." A huge shoutout goes to Kalinde von Lohrmann for moderating the topic and sharing your invaluable experience, and to Eugene Zolotarevsky, Sabir Shaykhlislamov, Anna Pavlova and other participants for creating such an amazing vibe. Are you a forward-thinking founder in Portugal (whether expat or local) and not yet a member of the Lisbon Founders Club ? You're missing out on so much. Why wait?
