How We MetHow We Met
Our story began at an entrepreneurship event where Bárbara was an organizer, and Luciano was a mentor. Amid the buzz of innovation and ambition, our eyes met briefly across the room—but fate decided it wasn’t yet our moment, and we never exchanged a word. Three years later, destiny brought us together again at another startup event. This time, Bárbara was pitching her company, and Luciano was one of the judges. As the presentations wrapped up, Bárbara approached Luciano with a playful smile and said, “I hope you gave us a good score—we know each other, after all!” Caught off guard but determined to maintain his professional image, Luciano replied with a grin, “No, I take my job very seriously.” A moment of silence followed—charged with both surprise and unspoken curiosity—until Luciano, clearly trying to recover, added, “But… if you’d like, I can help you connect with investors.” What he didn’t say was that he already had second intentions in mind. That conversation turned into our first real meeting, and from that moment, something sparked between us that couldn’t be ignored. The rest, as they say, is history.
