SUMMARY:Upside Club • Focused Session #1 • The Fundraising Dilemma
DESCRIPTION:Upside Club is a private community of the most ambitious founders and CEOs in Portugal. We exist to help founders connect\, grow\, and succeed together. \n​Focused Session #1 • The Fundraising Dilemma\n​Should you actually raise? When? Why (or why not)? \n​Most Founders default to fundraising because it’s often the loudest signal in the room\, not because they’ve done the math on what it costs them in equity\, control\, and time. \n​We’re putting two people in the room who’ve been on both sides of that decision: \n\n\n​Manuel Parente – Early Stage Investor\, 2x Exited Founder and current CEO & Founder of Thalur \n\n\n​Pedro Coutinho – Managing Partner at Transatlantic Highway Ventures \n\n\n​In short\, we’re getting into:\n\n\n​Bootstrap vs. raise: how to actually decide\, not just default \n\n\n​The right moment to raise (and the signs you’re too early or too late) \n\n\n​What investors are actually looking for right now \n\n\n​The cost of raising that nobody puts in the pitch deck \n\n\n​The logistics:\n\n\n​📅 October 1 \n\n\n​🕝 14:30 \n\n\n​📍 Online \n\n\n​Moderation: the Upside Club. \n\n\n​Open Q&A: bring your real questions\, not the polished version. \n\n\n​The invited founders belong to a new generation that doesn’t believe that the “secret is the soul of the business” but the opposite. They all see sharing their learnings\, experiences\, and vulnerabilities in the open as a growth mechanism. \n

SUMMARY:Upside Club • Private Lunch #13
DESCRIPTION:​Upside Club is a private community of the most ambitious founders and CEOs in Portugal. We exist to help founders connect\, grow\, and succeed together. \nThis lunch is held in a specific format: a private room and each person speaks at a time\, with a set of break the ice questions everyone needs to answer. We’ve organized 12 private lunches so far. This will be the 13th! \nLimited Seats: 12\nLanguage: 🇵🇹 Portuguese \nThe invited founders belong to a new generation that doesn’t believe that the “secret is the soul of the business” but the opposite. They all see sharing their learnings\, experiences\, and vulnerabilities in the open as a growth mechanism. \nYou can expect a wide range of stages in terms of entrepreneurial experience or company size. The vision is that someone who’s just starting can learn something from someone who runs a €10M+ business and vice-versa. \n  \nOrganiser: \nUpside Club \n  \n
