Last night, we had an amazing time at another Endeavor x Shilling Intimate Dinner, this time featuring a great talk by Vasco Pedro, co-Founder and CEO at Unbabel. 

We dove into "From Growth to Profitability," with Vasco sharing valuable insights from his own experience at Unbabel on how to move from scaling up to hitting sustainable profits. 

It's always a pleasure to give our founders the chance to meet and learn from top entrepreneurs in the ecosystem. These opportunities provide them with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration they need to grow their businesses, overcome challenges, and go for success 🚀
