SUMMARY:The $1B Solo Founder: Build Your Startup With AI Agents
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to build a team of AI agents that can start creating revenue and automating your growth — starting tomorrow. \nIf you’re building a startup in Portugal\, don’t miss this hands-on\, in-person workshop. \nAI is changing the way startups are built. For the first time\, founders can do things that were previously impossible: build “solocorns” — companies with the potential to become unicorns\, built by a single founder. \nThe founders who understand this new way of building will have a massive advantage. \nInstead of hiring a team of 40+ people to handle sales\, marketing\, operations\, research\, customer support and more\, founders can now build teams of AI agents that work 24/7 and take on tasks that previously required entire teams of senior talent. \nCompanies are already shipping products\, launching GTM motions and experimenting faster than ever. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll show early-stage founders how to do it themselves. \nYou’ll learn how to: \n\nBuild your own team of AI agents\nAutomate repetitive work across your startup\nUse AI for sales\, marketing\, research and operations\nCreate AI-powered workflows that run 24/7\nMove faster without immediately growing your headcount\nStart building your startup like a solocorn

SUMMARY:Find Your Next Step: A Strtegic Imagination Workshop
DESCRIPTION:When facing a complex business challenge\, speed is not your problem – clarity is. Isabel is a historian & founder of The Dream Lab. \n\n\n\n\nIn this 90-minute sprint\, you’ll use history\, contextual analysis\, and creative practice to uncover the invisible assumptions and forces actually shaping your decisions. Inspired by the strategic genius of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz\, a 17th-century Mexican poet\, scholar\, and pioneer for women’s intellectual freedom\, we’ll explore how seeing your system differently changes your next move. Together\, we’ll map the true context of one real challenge you bring to the room\, challenge dominant narratives\, and leave with a new perspective and one concrete action to test. \n​Isabel is historian and the founder of The Dream Lab\, a practice that translates the ways historians\, artists\, and humanists think into capabilities that organizations increasingly need. The Dream Lab helps leaders and teams understand deeper\, imagine differently\, and act more consciously before jumping into solutions. \n​Join us for a morning of connection\, nourishment and learning at our SheSapiens breakfast (vegan/gluten free options) and masterclass. \n​We can’t wait to welcome you and explore what it means to take an active role in creating a life of lasting wellbeing.

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.
