1. September 1st to 8th,
2012 – Event Report

2. This September, we decide to embark, once again, in this big
adventure called Startup Pirates @ Porto. After the success of the 1st
edition, we couldn't wait to start organizing the 2nd and incorporate the
learnings and feedback from the previous edition and take the event to
a whole new level.
Now, that the event is over it's time to reflect on what happened and
see, once again, how we can improve. There are things we want to do
different in the next editions and other things we definitely want to
keep. But overall, we are very happy with the results. The feedback
we received from our participants, speakers and mentors was super
positive and we feel empowered and motivated to keep working and
sharing the Pirate spirit.
We feel so motivated that we are already planning the next edition.
We'll be back in February for the 3rd edition of Startup Pirates @
Porto. We hope to see very enthusiastic and energetic Pirates in our
event. Stay tuned!! We are cooking some great news!!
Be brave, be crazy. be a Pirate!!

OVERALL PROGRAM
7. Tips to improve…
• “Perhaps more than one person to give feedback about the
intermediate pitch.”
• “Individual rooms for each team. The idea of openspace is good but a
little privacy and having a room to suit each team would be helpful!”
• “During the mentoring session, all the groups were discussing thing
and the space become very noisy.”
