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.

This 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?

Similar feeling to 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)
