What founders say about Shilling
André Jordão and Ricardo Macedo, Barkyn
"Two things attracted us to Shilling: the team with diverse experience, and their portfolio with several succesful startups that showed us they know what they are doing and they know how to pick a winner. It was always more than just the money for us.”
Vasco Pedro, Unbabel
"The fact that the Shilling team has so many ex-founders, knowing that they have all been where you are is great. It's why we valued the advice they gave us throughout the years so much. They're easily one of the best investors for early stage startups in Portugal."
Afonso Vieira and André Flórido, Betmarkets
"Of course if you consider that Shilling is probably the most successful VC in Portugal, we're proud to say that Shilling invested in us. They have been there every time that we needed them, providing straight-to-the-point and actionable insights from day one. But more than that, we got access to their network of portfolio startups, and we ended up calling other portfolio foundersto discuss challenges we're going through. And having that team of outstanding, likeminded super founders to call on has been priceless."
Ben Grech, Uniplaces / Reposit
"When we launched Uniplaces, the Portuguese ecosystem was still very young. But we met the partners at Shilling and it was like they'd driven straight from London or Silicon Valley. They really understood entrepreneurship. We had confidence they would be a stable and supportive partner, that they'd add value. And it all turned out to be true. They are a very smart yet humble team and I think this now shows in the fact that they are involved in a very high percentage of Portugal's success stories."
Humberto Ayres Pereira, Rows
"We chose Shilling to take our side on this ride because they are just as excited about technology and the productivity space as we are. They’re smaller than many other VCs, so they’re agile and it’s easier to make the most of them and their experience in taking Portugal-based ventures to the World."
