Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:

“I did two conferences with The Venture Builder and I really liked it because the way of working is pragmatic and all information is clarified with objectivity. They have done all the due diligence paperwork and submit the application for different Portugal 2020 calls. Happy to know that we were approved for one of the calls. I recommend to any startup that wants to do business from Portugal to consult The Venture Builder.”
