Lucas Fernandes - <https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-fernandes-silva/>

Marketing Assistant

Founder of an Education startup in 2021 in São Paulo from an insight that our current teaching model is not aligned with the needs that the job market needs. Since then, my main purpose has become to create, share and connect experiences and knowledge with people around the world, offering new opportunities to develop the skills they will need for the professions of the future, today.

Today, my biggest motivation comes from showing that any dream is possible and that there are no limits for those who really dream big, have their feet on the ground and take one step at a time. We are certainly only at the beginning of a great journey.

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

We believe that the value of the project is very accessible to be implemented in the Cardano ecosystem community, so that they can more easily find investors, investment funds, angel investors, accelerators and business drivers in the area of technology, Web3 and blockchain.

A powerful platform to find many of these investors, and investment funds with various filters and segmentations. We will offer an organized database of professionals from several specialized sites in one place.

Projects and founders will be able to use the platform to contact investors in an easier and more organized way.
