📣 Startups 1 vs. Corona 0
From print shop to online supermarket!
If we were told a month ago that 360imprimir was going to create a new food and supermarket service, we wouldn't believe it. The truth is that our alumnae (who was one of the finalists of the João Vasconcelos Award) has a successful business that already makes life easier for many people - and now even more! If until today we only left home to go shopping, this situation has just come to an end: 360hyper is a bold solution created by 360imprimir and an online supermarket that promises to do home delivery within 3 hours to 3 days! What a great example of how to use technology, innovation, and natural entrepreneurship to help the community. Congratulations 360imprimir!
They are not just surviving; they are growing!
These aren't simple times for those who have a business. Big or small, when it comes to a crisis, any can be affected. But there are exceptions, and we must celebrate them! YData, incubated at Startup Lisboa since last year, is growing and hiring, and these are excellent news! They are looking for two techies - a Senior MLOps Engineer and a Senior Deep Learning Researcher - to join Fabiana, Gonçalo and the rest of the team to make this startup grow! See more information and apply here.
The arts sector is one of the most affected nowadays, and My Invisible City wants to help!
This non-profit startup of ours wants to support everyone who makes our lives - and quarantines - worth living through entertainment! Online concerts with donations are some of the solutions to do that. Check the app to have a good time.
STARTUP OF THE WEEK
Learninghubz
Learninghubz's business model is to provide online training and personal learning videos for company workers. With the arrival of the pandemic, this e-learning solution takes on another dimension and makes it possible for companies to continue investing in their workers during quarantine! Recently, it was Galp who chose this startup to provide more than 6000 microlearning videos on topics such as productivity, well-being, leadership, and innovation! Congratulations! Keep on the excellent work!
