Marketing Assistant
Founder of an Education startup in 2021 in São Paulo from an insight that our current teaching model is not aligned with the needs that the job market needs. Since then, my main purpose has become to create, share and connect experiences and knowledge with people around the world, offering new opportunities to develop the skills they will need for the professions of the future, today.
Manage workload:
We currently have a team of 7 additional collaborators working together with our core project team. We were able to distribute and organize tasks and sprints within our development roadmap. And we also have a bank of technical professionals waiting to be hired according to the increase in projects.
[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?
We believe that the cost of the project is quite affordable for what we will deliver in terms of adoption and utility by the people who use the ADA Cardano cryptocurrency in Latin America.
With the dissemination of Cardano being diversified in 6 important countries of LATAM, many learnings and novelties will be shared within the Cardano ecosystem.
This work will get very close to the local crypto communities and bring many positive insights that will help in the growth, involvement and establishment of the Cardano community in Latin America.
