OUR STRUGGLES
KNOW THE TOPICS IN WHICH WE FOCUS OUR STRUGGLES
Culture
CHANGING OUR WAY OF THINKING
Successful ecosystems have succeeded creating the entrepreneurial and innovative culture among the various actors in the milieu. Companies that understand better than innovate and undertake involve risks and that failure in that market is an integral part of learning for success. Disseminating this culture to universities, corporations, and governments is essential for more and more entrepreneurs to take their ideas off the paper and create innovative and disruptive solutions.
Talents
INNOVATION, TALENT AND DISTRUPTION
Essential to the growth of startups in the country, the training of talents prepared to think and act on innovation is a fundamental part of a well-prepared ecosystem. We strive for an environment that prepares young people for a new job market: innovative, technological, disruptive and diverse.
Regulatory Environment
UNLOCKING US FROM BUREAUCRACY
Because of its high risk, the startups environment requires a more agile and flexible process in tax, labor and legal matters.
We support discussions on the issue with the government seeking to propose measures and discuss laws that could make the business environment more prepared for innovative companies in the country.
Investiment
ATTRACT RISK CAPITAL
Essential for the emergence of startups, the risk capital needs a regulatory environment that understands the risks in this investment model, encouraging them to take risks.
Deepening the discussions about taxation of risk investments and legal risks for these investors is fundamental for Brazilian startups to stop being "seduced" to take their CNPJ's out of the country due to the bureaucracy and the high tax and legal risks involved in these operations. Brazil.
Density
COLLISIONS GENERATE BUSINESS
Bringing talent and entrepreneurs together helps generate new ideas and innovations. By creating innovation hubs or clusters, cities dramatically increase the chances of new business coming.
Supporting public policies to create innovation zones for startups focusing on bringing talented minds together is an essential part of the country's ecosystem growth process.
Society
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION 95% of the world's startups are composed of White Men of Class A. In addition to being an environment that excludes the great majority of the population, this elitist model perpetuates an innovation focused on consumption and not on meeting the demands and needs of the vast majority of the population.WHO WHE ARE
