About
Hi! João here. I've spent the past 13 years helping to turn ideas into successful businesses in various leadership roles.
I've got a diverse background in sketching, physics engineering, industrial design, software development, product development, and management, and have built multiple startups and co-founded companies in industries ranging from automotive and e-commerce to edtech and spacetech.
When I'm not working on my next business idea, you can usually find me drawing inspiration from the Renaissance's artistic achievements and the pioneering spirit of early rocket scientists. -
