Vania Carvalho

“I am most motivated by building. I love taking a strong idea and figuring out how to turn it into something people understand, want and pay for. My strength is on the commercial side: positioning, go-to-market, marketing, sales, partnerships and business design. I enjoy working in early-stage environments where decisions matter, things move fast and there is real ownership over the outcome.”

“My ideal co-founder is strong where I am not: product, technology, operations or deep domain expertise. Ideally, they already have a compelling idea, early validation or fundraising momentum and are looking for a commercial partner who can own growth, positioning, sales and go-to-market. I value ambition, direct communication, speed, integrity and someone who genuinely wants to build a large company together rather than simply launch a side project.”

“A scalable technology or AI-enabled company solving a real problem in a large market. I am especially attracted to businesses where strong product meets strong distribution and where brand, marketing, sales and partnerships can create a significant competitive advantage. Ideally, it has international potential, recurring revenue and the possibility to become a category leader rather than another small lifestyle business.”
