I am the founder of Rodada de Negócios, the Brazilian platform that runs online business rounds end to end: participant registration, meeting scheduling, video rooms, the timer for each round and the reporting of what came out of it.
The platform grew out of a simple observation: the best commercial opportunities come from direct meetings between business owners, but organising those meetings has always been expensive, laborious and limited by geography. Solving that meant understanding in detail how a round works from the inside, and that experience is where what I write here comes from.
What interests me about the subject is what happens after the event. A round generates dozens of conversations in a few hours; what separates the people who leave with business from the people who leave with business cards is preparation, judgement about who to meet, and follow-up. That is what most of what I publish in the Knowledge Center and in the guides on this site is about.
