Beta-i Newsletter

In our case, at Beta-i, it clearly hasn’t (or maybe it has) because for the next edition of our own Lisbon Challenge we’re giving out 10.000 euros for startups to build a product in 10 weeks. And we’re also paying for flights and accommodation during the first week of Lisbon Challenge which will be an intensive week of mentoring and workshops to select the final startups, called the Bootcamp.  Here’s how it all works. Have a great week, and check out the next section of this newsletter (it’s really important). Cheers, Maria   P.S.: We just realised today is Beta-i's 7th birthday... We'll be celebrating it with beer and cake this Friday at our hub for another Thank God It's Friday (starts at 6pm) and we would love to have you here with us.      Maria Almeida Almighty Duchess of Content at Beta-i   Portugal has had the most tragic wildfire in its history during the weekend. 64 people died, hundreds were injured, and many have lost their homes. But no matter how powerless we all feel about this tragedy we need to do something about it. For this reason, I would like to ask you to help the victims by contributing to this crowdfunding campaign.    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.       Looking for talented & ambitious founders.
