Só quem já segurou uma organização no limite sabe o peso real da responsabilidade.

Mozambique runs on relationships. Advising without networks is like building without bricks.

Many fail because they think “product-market fit.” In emerging economies, it’s “product-power-fit.” Who lets you operate is as critical as who buys.
