About my journey...
Dear reader
Hope this post can find you well.
Beside i have other past blogs, this is my newest and i decided to challenge myself and write it in english.
First, my english writing is really bad, so definitely is a good challenge.
Second, from a few months apart, i have been thinking in writting a blog about my entreperneurship travel. What i have been facing, my difficulties, my way and off course my winners. Hope this could be very usefull for all you around the world ( who knows ...).
So, its about entreperneurship at a seaside garden....why? Because i am from Portugal, and beside all the social and political environment i love this country close to the majestic Atlantic Ocean.
I did a degree in Mechanical Engineering, with a specialization in plastic and moulds, and was relatively simple when i choose to do a PhD in a plastic processing field. After my studies, i decided to start my own company, to do the technology transfer of what i developed during my PhD. It was 5 years ago.
Very succinctly, i have been funding by a capital venture, i get a national funds and i have been developing my technology. So far, it looks like a start-up. Money get from investment and money spent for development. Easy, right? No. I has been a really challenge task. First, because the low investment that we made. We had a very few resources and, beside we were very good in knowing the technology to produce plastic, applying it to produce plastic parts have been a very different journey....and we had no experience in it at all....i remember a suggestion that some gave me and told me that i should produce plastic parts in a full ice bucket.....well, it seems nice but at lab scale, not for produce 100 parts! We needed to start from draft. Beside our technology is different, there was plenty of knowledge around and from industry that we could used to accelerate our travel. We took a long two years of technical validation. Hopefully, i guess we did....
Since middle of this year, i have been approaching the market. And know is when the real challenge starts. Sell! Money to support us to eat, dress and live. But, also, is know when the real rock starts!!
I will talked later about it!
Hope we can enjoy this travel together. I am open to your comments and ideas...
