Founder Journey
YC Paris Startup School 2025
2025 · Paris, France
A richer founder-story collection from Paris showing YC-adjacent energy, network density, and João's continued global startup orientation.
Period
2025
Significance
A continuity chapter that shows João's startup orientation compounding across geographies.
Why it matters
This period demonstrates how João translates global ecosystem exposure into practical product and engineering focus, rather than collecting disconnected event moments.
Narrative
This collection documents João's Paris startup-school chapter in 2025, where founder ambition, technical fluency, and international network-building converged in one narrative lane. The images capture both formal and informal environments that matter for founder development: rooms, conversations, and moments where product direction sharpens through exposure. It extends the YC SF arc into a broader global trajectory instead of treating it as a one-off milestone.
