StartSe

StartSe was founded in 2015 by Junior Borneli and Alison Paese, with a vision to bridge the gap between Brazil's burgeoning entrepreneurial scene and the innovation hub of Silicon Valley. The company emerged as a digital platform designed to connect startups, investors, and corporations, facilitating opportunities for learning and networking.

From its inception, StartSe focused on creating a vibrant community of entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors. The platform quickly gained traction, amassing a community of over 120,000 members. This growth was fueled by StartSe's unique approach of organizing international missions to Silicon Valley, which attracted thousands of Brazilian entrepreneurs eager to learn from the world's leading tech ecosystem.

In a significant move to expand its offerings, StartSe acquired control of the crowdfunding fintech CapTable in 2022. This acquisition, supported by Patria Investments, marked a strategic step in enhancing StartSe's capabilities in providing financial solutions to startups and investors.

Today, StartSe stands as a pivotal player in the Brazilian startup ecosystem, continually evolving to meet the needs of its community. By fostering connections and providing essential resources, StartSe has solidified its role as a catalyst for innovation and growth, helping Brazilian entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of the global market.
