Geographic startup directory for Brazil when Crunchbase already covers this globally.

Strengths
  • •Fills genuine gap — no geographic startup explorer existed for Brazilian market
  • •Job listings integrated directly with company locations on the map
Weaknesses
  • •Curated directory pattern — useful but no novel technique or technology
  • •Limited to São Paulo currently, unclear how data is collected and maintained

Post Description

I couldn't find a simple way to explore the Brazilian startup ecosystem geographically, as I can in other places like the Bay Area or London, so I built one.

The map currently includes hundreds of startups from Sao Paulo and their job opportunities.

The most interesting thing I've learned so far is how clustered startup activity is in a handful of areas.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.
