Those around me know how much I’m into building a startup hub in Coimbra. It’s something I recurrently thing about: what could be done to turn this city into a more attractive place to start a company? I have a long list of things to do:

  • meetings to between startups (already doing it)
  • workshops
  • organize trips to other hubs
  • bring relevant mentors to Coimbra
  • make intros to recognized investors
  • broadcast news about local startups
  • and so on…

But the more I think about it, the more I believe the best strategy is just to work like hell to build a successful company and then invest a lot locally. Invest in all the awesome people I’m getting to know here in Coimbra.

So, back to work…
