Luís Teixeira

Luís has actually built the thing most VCs only invest in. Over a decade at Farfetch — ending as Group COO and MD of Farfetch Portugal — he helped take the business from ~$50M to $5B in GTV and 300 to 6,000+ people, all the way through the 2018 NYSE IPO. He knows where scaling breaks, what a founding team needs to survive the climb, and how to spot the difference between a demo and a real platform. Today he advises technology scale-ups and invests in tech himself. When Luís says a company can scale, that's a signal worth listening to.
