How to start a startup?,

Miguel Barosa Gonçalves

Founded in the Lisbon School of Economics & Management, “LEAPing - Association for University Entrepreneurship” belonging to the University of Lisbon, has as its main objective to promote the entrepreneurial culture throughout ISEG as well as stimulate the creation if ideas and development of student’s personal skills. 

In addition to the events and conferences we organize to promote the entrepreneurial culture and spirit, LEAP obtains summer internship placements for students in order to promote work experience in startups. Since the founding of LEAP, we have successfully placed students in summer internships at startups like Abylos - Trends and Consulting, Imaginary Cloud and DCK Boardshorts. 

LEAPing is a University Association founded in 2015 composed of a team of university students from the Lisbon School of Management & Economics.

LEAPing was founded in 2015, since then it has been our goal to connect all university students to the Universe of Entrepreneurship and Startups through Events (Conferences between Entrepreneurs, Visits to Incubators and Workspaces, Forums with Startups, etc ...) and several other projects.

We believe being an entrepreneur means being proactive, dynamic, critical, seeking discomfort, change and doing more. An entrepreneur is someone who does not give up after failing 1, 2 or even 100 times, an entrepreneur sees opportunities where there are needs, an entrepreneur is always in the learning. One is not born an entrepreneur, but eventually one learns to be one with effort, determination and work.

For this reason and many others, LEAPing was created, keeping in mind the ongoing need to increase the proactivity and entrepreneurship of university students.
