Work Experience

ViiSolutions

Principal Researcher

ViiSolutions is a startup of technological solutions for inclusion and accessibility for users with disabilities. We believe that technological research can make the city more human, smart and accessible.

We are participating of FAPESP’s Innovative Research in Small Businesses program (PIPE in the Portuguese acronym), where I am the principal company researcher.

During this time I did The 5th PIPE–High–Tech Entrepreneurial Training. The program is based on the Customer Discovery methodology, which is an iterative process of getting out of the office/lab, going to the market to interview potential customers, partners, and competitors, to understand their needs, problems, and difficulties.
