Show HN: StartupsBR – A map of Brazilian startups
I couldn't find a simple way to explore the Brazilian startup ecosystem geographically, as I can in other places like the Bay Area or London, so I built one.
The map currently includes hundreds of startups from Sao Paulo and their job opportunities.
The most interesting thing I've learned so far is how clustered startup activity is in a handful of areas.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
The EN version: https://www.startupsbr.com/sao-paulo https://www.startupsbr.com/sao-paulo
- bigjick 3mo agointeresting, can you eli5 the main use case? is it job opportunities for developers?
- leonagano 3mo agothat's a very good question lol. Still figuring out. I added jobs as some people asked for it. It may bring people back to the website Do you see something I could add?
- retmarut 3mo agoThe rest of the country! kkkk
- leonagano 3mo agolol makes sense
- madaxe_again 3mo agoSó Rio de Janeiro then? ducks
- diego_moita 3mo agoThere are just 2 startups in Rio: Comando Vermelho and Milícias.
- arilotter 3mo agoremove the "change" button for areas until you have it lol i was trying so hard to find startups in rio kkkk
- leonagano 3mo agoI added Curitiba. Now "change" makes sense :)
- raspace 3mo agoi guess it's just a cool fun project lol
- anitil 3mo agoThis is very cool! I've wanted to do something like this for Sydney but never got around to it. Are you scraping your data sources or building them yourself?
- leonagano 3mo agoa mix of scraping + founders submit their own
- staernid 3mo agoSimilar feeling to https://germantechjobs.de https://germantechjobs.de - just with a lesser focus on jobs. Don't quote me on it, but I think the founder of that website works as a talent agent (earning a living, I hope)
- denysjw 3mo agoLooks familiar to StartupMap? :) OG: startupmap.one
- aeve890 3mo agoThe submitted site runs smoother, has less annoying popups, don't use the entire screen (on mobile) to show info of the selected startup and overall I think it has better UX than yours.
- leonagano 3mo agothank you
- postit 3mo agoInteresting claim, they indeed look similar and looks like both are claude generated.
- leonagano 3mo agoyes, I Claude Coded it There's another one covering London https://londonstartupmap.com/ https://londonstartupmap.com/

- K0balt 3mo agoSo many! Like a brazillion of them!
- leonagano 3mo agolol
- rescbr 3mo ago> The most interesting thing I've learned so far is how clustered startup activity is in a handful of areas. They are clustered like any other white collar company in the city, around the various historical business districts, and IMHO they could be thought as mirrors of the founder's personality to choose where they want to base their office: old downtown with cheap rents on decadent/retrofit old buildings; Paulista Avenue and Jardins with great public transportation, culture access and eclectic food; Pinheiros as the upscale cool foodie district which is now gentrified as fuck and losing its soul; Faria Lima as the core financial district; and Vila Olímpia southwards as the Faria Lima wannabe with AAA buildings but not as expensive as renting in the middle of Faria Lima.
- piltdownman 3mo agoA decade ago there were more than 250 start-ups within a kilometre either side of the River Liffey in Dublin. https://www.siliconrepublic.com/start-ups/dublin-entrepreneurs-funding-map-techireland https://www.siliconrepublic.com/start-ups/dublin-entrepreneu... IDA Ireland is the Irish Government’s inward investment promotion agency and has fantastic interactive maps, filterable by sector, showing the clustering around our major cities and CBDs. Dublin a huge outlier in terms of Tech, and Cork in terms of Pharma https://www.idaireland.com/map https://www.idaireland.com/map
- khurs 3mo ago>The most interesting thing I've learned so far is how clustered startup activity is in a handful of areas. where did you get the data? Sure it is complete?
- leonagano 3mo agoThis is only part of Sao Paulo ecosystem but this shows how concentrated they are The addresses come from eother their own website or their Linkedin profile
- brudevel 3mo agoThis is very cool. Sao Paulo has an amazing talent pool
