Hey Blanca,

Myself and a partner are working on a motorized skateboard startup in Lisboa. We have the manufacturing and design of the boards ready but I trying to come up with a way to fund it to the next level. The boards themselves go about 10-15km per hour, have auto shutoff and we have an app to lock and tweak them. So far we have demoed it during Web Expo and people loved it. We have about 129 pre-orders and started to deliever a few of our beta units.

Do you have a suggestion on an investor group or small angel group that are active in the Lisbon area? I don't need them to know skateboarding or street culture, just be interested in the personal transportation and leisure space.

Appreciated.

Hi Trent,

I just saw this so I am a bit late in answering, but it may help someone else looking for investments. I know of two investment firms here that are quite active.

Dis Capital

&

Indico Capital.

I think they would be a great place to start.
