JOAQUIM MIGUEL DUARTE SILVA

business growth hacker

Hello,

I'm really passionate about technologies that solve everyday challenges. Love to work with start-ups, project management and fund raising as a way to help entrepreneurs and managers to get throughout their management, finance, go-to-market plans and monetisation chalenges.

This comes out from my background experience as a Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship Manager where I really developed the passion for being a growth hacker for technology companies. 

Graduated in Business Management at ISEG (Portugal), post-graduated in Finance at University of Évora (Portugal) and executive training in Venture Capital and Business Management from Instituto de Empresa - IE Business School.

Before work, my family comes always first in my mind but on spare time I love to sport specially surf, padel tennis, golf and I'm a seriously horse fan.
