As optimistic as it sounds, current VC trends in the US bring light to a crisis that appear to be shorter and less dark than expected back in April — at least for early stage startups. It might be still too early to come up with final conclusions, but a recent survey in the US with VCs point to startup's recovery on the rise, as companies who managed to adapt quickly to customer's needs in the ‘new normal’ era are already back to business (almost) as usual.
2015/2016 x 2020: perception and maturity stage
Working alongside our portfolio of hardware startups and monitoring the investment scenario's challenges…
A cidade de Quioto (Kyoto, em japonês 京都, que significa capital )- antiga sede imperial e destino turístico mais popular por aqui - é conhecida por preservar o gosto tradicional do Oriente. E otras cositas mas…
Esse é meu 2o post sobre o Japão, então dá uma olhada nas dicas para sua 1a vez por aqui.
Como residente, comecei uma série de dicas pra amigxs e nunca publiquei, então dessa vez deixei a preguiça de lado e resolvi dividir com outros viajantes algumas ideias sobre o Japão. (na verdade, quero convencer mais amigxs a virem me visitar antes que eu me vá de vez…)

For the 4th consecutive year, the most International Hardware pitch competition in the US brings opportunities for entrepreneurs — more than just a USD 50,000 prize. See what you’ve missed this year!

We’re back with our Monozukuri Hub Meetup series, this time debuting at our brand new Kyoto Makers Garage. In this new hub, aiming to celebrate all kinds of makers, we invited two Japanese startups brave enough to break the silence and share their stories about their failures in the land of robotics!
One of the most important points in any community is the mutual collaboration, including sharing lessons and mistakes. But as I’ve noticed since started working in Japan, there’re still some taboos even in the startup ecosystem, specially when it comes to the “F” word. …
