It took us six months to get Bright Pixel up and running, but we finally made it. This is it, the day we proudly open our doors and break a leg or two.

What a ride it’s been — during this incredible journey, we learned so much: For instance, we realized that plans are necessary, that humans need structure and goals in their minds, but that steering the wheel is what actually matters and distinguishes willingness from obsession. But the way to master the journey is to work hard and be fair — do that consistently, every day, and you’ll be okay.

What

And what is Bright Pixel, you may ask? In a nutshell, we’re a group of experienced builders, creative thinkers and investors with many years of experience under our belts, brought together thanks to a number of crazy coincidences and whose shared goal is to transform two key things: the way companies address innovation and how new ventures are put together.

There are many names for our approach. The general one is “company builder studio”, which is a good fit for what we aim to accomplish.

At BRPX, as we like to name it, we’ll be managing a venture lifecycle going from experimentation and lab phases to delivering MVPs, incubating unique product ideas into great startups in which we will co-invest.

Another way of looking at us is as a widely diversified and experienced group of people, that are obsessed with helping skilled promoters come into our building, leverage on our skills and engage with our partner ecosystem the best that they can, working as fast and lean as possible in order to grow and leave as founders, boosted by our seed-stage investment fund.

We’re already hard at work building a pipeline of ideation and lab projects with great companies like NOS and Sonae (Bit, Público and Worten), already investing in two MVPs to become go-to market startups. One is called Graf.ly — a new way to look at content publishing — and the other is called Oxpecker, a next generation web security tool.

A great team

Behind every great project, there’s a great team. We’re no exception. I’m very proud to say that our founders are one hell of a team, incredibly talented people that I’ve been working with for years — in fact, some of them for more than a decade now.

I have no words to express the gratitude that I feel for their decision to choose BRPX and the privilege of working with them again during the exciting and challenging times that lie ahead of us.
