SUMMARY:Spill The Tea: Scaling with SEO in the AI Era – 3 Big Shifts & How to Win
DESCRIPTION:Is your SEO strategy ready for the AI revolution? It’s time to adapt\, or risk being left behind! \n​Join us for our next “Spill The Tea” session\, where we’ll unpack the critical changes reshaping the online search landscape. This is an essential session for B2B SaaS founders and their teams who rely on organic visibility and content for lead generation and want to not just stay competitive\, but truly win in the AI era. \n​We’re delighted to welcome Kristina Frunze\, Founder at WebView SEO\, an expert in rebuilding SEO for the AI era and helping B2B SaaS businesses own buyer discovery across Google\, ChatGPT\, Perplexity\, and more. \n​Kristina will break down three major shifts happening right now that are fundamentally redefining search: \n\n​AI-generated answers are replacing traditional search results: Discover why simply showing up in links is no longer enough. Your content now needs to be cited and surfaced directly within AI-driven summaries.\n​AI content is flooding the internet\, making originality\, depth\, and trust signals paramount: Learn why B2B buyers crave authentic expertise\, not generic content\, and how search engines are increasingly rewarding this depth.\n​Organic SEO alone is no longer a reliable growth channel: Understand why diversifying your content strategy across owned\, earned\, and social channels is crucial for building long-term visibility and a consistent lead flow.\n\n​Kristina will provide clear\, B2B-focused strategies on how companies can effectively respond to these shifts\, allowing you to scale your SEO impact and drive real growth.

SUMMARY:Power Hour #12 - The Science behind scaling Startup Teams
DESCRIPTION:n this fast-paced\, one-hour demo-talk\, the aim is to bust the “founder-as-super-hero” myth and show why teams are living systems\, not org charts. Through real-world stories and a lightning interactive exercise\, the goal is to highlight how informal flows and feedback loops drive growth far more than individual leadership skills. The session will introduce the Ecocycle model to map where your initiatives sit – exploration\, growth\, maturity\, or creative destruction – and reveal the hidden bottlenecks that keep founders stuck in fire-fighting mode. \nThis Power Hour led by Pedro Portela\, Founder of the School of Systems & Complexity\, the session packs practical tools to shift decision power from a single hero to a distributed team. If you want to scale without becoming the exhausted fire-chief\, join us at UPTEC and take home a fresh\, systems-level lens for building resilient\, high-impact companies.

SUMMARY:FuckUp Nights Porto
DESCRIPTION:Fuckup Nights (FuN) is a global movement and community that shares stories of professional failure. FuN was created from the need to share and celebrate our experiences of failure. This space was conceptualised almost a decade or more ago. It is an open meeting space that allows us to freely express our human-imperfect point of view\, and make it clear that fuckups are part of everyday life (lit). Embracing vulnerability and accepting failure isn’t a sign of weakness\, but a catalyst for growth and innovation. We created a Global Movement because we managed to connect with that sensitive thread that runs through us all and shows us that everyone is doing what they can with their daily battles\, and not all of them are won. \nBroad Agenda:  \n1800h to 1830h – Welcome & Networking \n1830h to 1845h – Host Introductions and Welcome \n1845h to 1945h – Failure Stories by 3 Speakers + Open Mic \n1945h Onwards – Wrap Up.
