Unpacking the real-world pathways to meaningful impact, from capital to operations.

---

A candid morning conversation hosted by Impact for Breakfast, now in Portugal for the first time.

As Impact for Breakfast makes its launch in Portugal, we invite you to a conversation that bridges capital, innovation, and intent. This session explores how investors and entrepreneurs alike navigate the evolving landscape of purpose-led business and finance — and what it takes to truly drive impact in practice.

Our speakers bring deep experience from different sides of the impact spectrum:

André Almeida Santos (Partner, Indico Capital Partners) brings over two decades of experience across development finance, venture capital, and sustainability leadership. With a strong focus on the Blue Economy, and responsible and impact investment, André will share reflections on how investors can shift from ESG compliance to intentional impact, and how values frameworks are redefining capital deployment.

João Guimarães (Co-Founder & CEO, Intuitivo) leads a fast-growing edtech startup transforming how schools assess and engage students. Formerly a top-performing Popular Investor on eToro with millions in assets under management, João brings a unique blend of entrepreneurial drive and investment literacy. He’ll discuss the challenges founders face embedding impact from the ground up and navigating investor expectations while staying mission-aligned.

Whether you're deploying capital or building companies, or a ecosystem builder, this event offers a rare opportunity to hear both perspectives and engage with Portugal’s growing impact ecosystem over breakfast and conversation.
