mangoUP

We've just released our new website and offers. We are working on a strong strategy and grow our community, help more and more founders save $$$ on startup tools while keeping putting humans first and building close relationships with our network of founders.

We plan to raise a pre-seed investment before March 2021.

Today one of my first trial customers for mangoUP converted to paid. I noticed when I got the email from Stripe that said "Payment of $39". It felt amazing! It's just the beginning, we want to grow our community and help more and more Gen-Zers build their business ideas!

2 months after launching our newsletter (a step-by-step guide to building your business ideas when you have no previous entrepreneurship experience, delivered every-week in your mailbox), we've reached 300 signups. We've mostly used our personal LinkedIn account to grow our audience.

We won the Best Entrepreneurship Project Award 2020 and $1,500 competing against 16 other teams of MSc Students from Católica School of Business and Economics (#1 BS is Portugal), after a pitch in front of renowned investors and entrepreneurs, including Shark Tank investor Tim Vieira, unicorn CEO and VC Partner Cristina Fonseca (@Talkdesk, @Indico Capital), European Association of Business Angels' Vice-President João Trigo da Roza, BAUC investor in residence Silvia Taveira de Almeida.

With my 2 co-founders, we truly believe that our generation - Gen Z - is a Generation of Entrepreneurs. Hyper-connected, highly self-educated, self-reliant, Gen Z-ers are pre-conditioned to be entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and freelancers, searching for meaningful causes. MangoUP unifies these change-makers and helps them build our future by providing support, hands-on hacks, a helpful community, and the best tools they need to create their businesses. We want to help thousands of new founders around the world build their business ideas.
