NDA for ideas? No, thanks!

by Fernando Moreira / March 9, 2021

Reading Time: 3 minutes To sign or to sign? We have had this conversation a thousand times in our time as a venture studio, and we are going to be straightforward about this: sorry, we don’t sign non-disclosure agreements (NDA), partly out of principle, somewhat to send a message. Inspired by this blog post, we decided, as an internal principle, not to sign in the future NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) to get to know…

Why [so] Angry?

by Michel Cânovas / November 5, 2020

Angry humans become more animal – is the assumption. If we go back enough in time, this was roughly my…

by Carolina R. Rodrigues / June 16, 2020

Reading Time: 4 minutes Maybe you are new on your team and job and don’t know anyone.

No, do not write to simplify

by Carolina R. Rodrigues / May 26, 2020

Reading Time: 5 minutes I have been writing ever since I can remember – from journals and class papers to school newspapers – and, after some years of experience and a lot of reading about how to write properly, I urge you to ignore all those articles that say you must simplify your writing. No, you don’t have to stupefy your writing and way of thinking to be read. I started…

What in the heck is a business developer?

by João Rodrigues / May 12, 2020

Reading Time: 3 minutes Hello, anyone there? I’m João. I joined Angry Ventures (AV) in January as a business developer. Conceivably you are asking yourself – “wtf is business development?

Reading Time: 3 minutes Two weeks have passed since I first arrived at Angry Ventures. I still think to myself everyday “what the fuck just happened?” when going to work. For me, it seems surreal how much I have grown in the last few days. It has been all about growth. They have been awesome – and kind of made me feel anxious too… Well, let me put this in a…

ALICE: how to make a URL shortener made in a very short time

by Tiago Leão / July 28, 2017

Reading Time: 3 minutes A small tool for big brains, that’s how we describe our personal URL shortener. Created in three wonderful afternoons, project ALICE was supposed to happen in only one. Some unforeseen events led to a delay, but we’re still happy with the outcome. I’ll explain the process later as well as the troubles we faced. Before that, let me just make a small introduction.
