Founder Journey

Global Builder Arc

A visual timeline of João's builder trajectory across Paris, startup environments, founder circles, and global AI networks.

This project treats João's international media as a narrative layer: not a single product, but the environments where his founder identity is being formed. It ties together YC-adjacent moments, European network density, and the broader context around building globally from Brazil.
