Do you already have an app for saving bills and taking out insurance?
From invoices to insurance, prepare yourself for Keep Warranty!
What a beautiful world we live in, where technology makes time-consuming day-to-day tasks more straightforward and easier. ❤️Keep Warranty does just that: a technology app that helps us take care of problems and needs easily and quickly! And where these apps used to “only” help us save and archive invoices and purchase guarantees, now they also provide insurance policies! That’s right, easy to get insurance through an app! Congratulations to continually making us proud of this journey.
STARTUP OF THE WEEK
ripatrip
The scent of summer these last few days has been making us dream for holidays. How about you? We’re already picturing it: crystal clear water and the perfect wind for a great kitesurfing session! Oh yeah, ripatrip changed its image and website, and now there’s no way you won’t want to try it. How can this startup of ours help you? Simple. With kitesurfing being our focus (and soon surfing, skiing, snowboarding, climbing…), it will also help you find the best spots around the world to take in the surroundings. Try taking a quick look at our website and then tell us where you’ll be going. 😎
VIDEO OF THE WEEK
We live in the best city in the world, but we are no longer the only ones to know this. More and more companies are establishing their headquarters in our town, but why? Miguel Fontes, our executive director, shared some of his ideas on why this is with Via News. 👇🤘 As well as ideas, we also have solutions. That’s why, if you are part of those who want to “ride the wave” on this fantastic southern European city, you should sign up for Launch in Lisbon! Our 3-day soft-landing programme will provide all the essential tips and information for a no-turbulence, 100% successful landing in Lisbon.
You can sign up here until the 28 February.
COMMUNITY
From Lisbon to Slovenia ✈️
We flew to Slovenia to participate in the 3rd edition of the Slovenian Business Club Conference, which the country’s Prime Minister attended. What did we do there? We didn’t just go to enjoy the kind of fresh air you don’t get in our beautiful city 😏. We also went to present Startup Lisboa and its impact on the ecosystem to 400+ guests, including entrepreneurs, businesspeople, investors and Slovenian government representatives. André Costa, our Head of Strategy, presented the work and experience that we’ve been developing and our contributions to the growth of the Portuguese ecosystem! 💥
