💛 Heart of Gold Fellowship | 42 Portugal

There is extraordinary technical talent in Portugal that does not always manage to fulfil its potential. Not because of a lack of ability, but because of a lack of access to a network, guidance, and people who open doors to new opportunities. Heart of Gold was created to change that.

The name is inspired by the first spaceship capable of travelling through the universe using the Infinite Improbability Drive in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, in which 42 is the answer to the great questions of life.

We invest not only in resources, but also in social capital: knowledge, credibility, and connections, transferred in a selective, intentional, and direct way from those with experience to those who demonstrate potential.

The improbable, with the right people, becomes inevitable.
Stay tuned. We will be sharing more news soon. 🚀
