2. HOW DID IT START
In the beginning of 2011 Startup Pirates was taking
the first steps. It took 4 long months to go from an
idea to a project…
After lots of changings, learnings, discussions and new
ideas, on July 5 we were able to launch Startup
Pirates. Right after our launch party, we started
organizing our first program in Porto. This was the
chance to finally test everything we had been working
on, measure the impact of our program and see if we
could replicate the model in other cities and
countries.
Lucky enough, even before the start of our first
program, we were approached by a team in Lisbon
interested in taking Startup Pirates there. The first
event was a success and since then we’ve been
working hard to take Startup Pirates to other cities
and countries and support as many entrepreneurs as
possible.
Every day we add a few more lines in this story and
we are having lots of fun!
Startup Pirates wants to change the
world one entrepreneur at a time!!
