We founded Atlantic Hub in 2016 to meet the demand for Brazilian entrepreneurs and investors wanting access to European markets. In our ‘home’ in Edu Hub Lisbon, we are quite literally the hub connecting across the Atlantic - helping Brazilian investors and entrepreneurs succeed in Portugal and Europe. Strong cultural ties between the two countries meant that this was a well-worn path for businesses but with varying degrees of success. With Brazil’s population of 207 million in Latin America to Portugal’s 10 million in Europe, there was a need to create a robust support infrastructure to help Brazilian businesses to succeed here. Atlantic Hub’s offering is made up of several components. The first - what we call “Atlantic MarketFit” - is to assess the feasibility of the business for the Portuguese market. Our “Soft Landing” phase prepares Brazilian businesses for entry into Europe and arms them with all the internationalisation tools they need to scale. Immersed in “Atlantic Ignition”, businesses will have a defined roll-out strategy culminating in presenting to potential stakeholders. Our CoreAngels Atlantic is a network of 30 investors who invest in Brazilian start-ups with a business model to expand into Europe - to qualify for businesses must have been trading for two years.
