The sessions were always very diverse and interactive and the speakers made their contacts available so that we could clarify specific doubts about our project, making the programme more complete and efficient. The follow-up meetings with UPTEC's team were also useful in helping to define strategies and concretise actions." AddvoltBruno Azevedo"Our path on the School of Startups was an important moment for our growth as entrepreneurs and anticipated the implementation of our mission as a team and company. Before that, we developed technology and during the programme, we got resources to develop value propositions for society, clients and partners." Building PicturesSara Nunes"When I enrolled in the first class of the School of Startups, Building Pictures was just a dream! Turning that dream into a business was only possible with UPTEC.

FAHR 021.3Filipa Frois Almeida"FAHR 021.3 participated in the School of Startups in 2014, at a time when it was an early stage. This participation was important, as it provided FAHR knowledge and tools, which helped to establish new directions. We also had the opportunity to share information with other colleagues and meet potential partner companies and customers." SUMMARYSamuel Gonçalves"The School of Startups worked as the real kick-off for SUMMARY’s activity. At that moment, it was just me and a PC. In this programme, for the very first time, I got the tool kit I needed to make it grow: building a network and getting mentoring and practical knowledge about pricing, marketing and communication." ShoevenirGonçalo e Miguel"School of Startups allowed us to add important knowledge to our project so that we would be prepared for the market when we were ready to set up the company. We address important topics related to accounting and the industry in which we operate and we also had access to the UPTEC network. We can only suggest signing up if you want to step forward." Tatara RazorsJoão Moniz Gomes"It is not enough to have the idea, determination and dynamism. To create a business, you have to start. Making decisions towards our goal and being surrounded by people who positively influence us on this path is very important. The School of Startups was exactly that "fuel" for Tatara Razors and allowed us to transform an idea into a sustainable and successful business."Success StoriesMoreNewsAddvolt among the 150 fastest-growing tech companies in EuropeAddvolt, a School of Startups alumni, is on the podium as the fastest-growing national company in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.Read More NewsSchool of Startups alumni awarded by Portugal VenturesPortuguese venture capital distinguished Addvolt and Noocity, and the founder of Corium Biotech for standing out in 2022.Read More NewsUPTEC will support 15 researchers with business ideasThe 36-hour programme is exclusively for master's and doctoral researchers from the University of Porto.
