Знайдіть або створіть Origin у Lisbon
Lisbon’s startup scene has become one of Europe’s most talked-about, powered by the Web Summit’s global draw, a wave of international founders, and a home-grown community around Príncipe Real, Cais do Sodré, and the LX Factory creative quarter. The city’s strengths include B2B SaaS, marketplaces, tourism tech, and fintech, with a growing climate-tech scene around the Atlantic. Coworking spaces and startup cafés host founder breakfasts, pitch evenings, and demo days, while NOVA and ISCTE feed graduates into early teams. English is the default in most international groups, and the city’s quality of life — light, food, and beach — makes it a magnet for remote workers and serial founders. The community is small enough that reputations travel fast and warm enough that introductions happen easily. The Portuguese rhythm shapes events: relaxed, social, and happily late. Starting a startup Origin in Lisbon works best with a narrow vertical and a regular rhythm — a monthly B2B SaaS table or an AI builders night builds a loyal following faster than a generalist group.
