Our Team

The people behind Expatico: IFICI specialists, relocation advisors and startup ecosystem connectors based in Lisbon.

Expatico did not start as a relocation company. It started inside Dealflow.eu and Ventures.eu, working with startups across Europe on company setup, governance, and Portugal's tax incentives. Every service we offer today comes from years of doing this work for real companies, not from research.

Backed by Dealflow.eu and Ventures.eu

Ventures.eu is an early-stage European VC fund. Dealflow.eu is its origination platform, connecting corporates, investors, and startups across Europe since 2019. Together they have built one of the most active startup networks in Europe, and Expatico is a direct extension of that work in Portugal.

This is not theoretical knowledge. This team has set up companies in Portugal, structured governance and board roles, and guided founders and executives through Portugal's tax incentives, repeatedly, for real portfolio companies. When we tell you what a certified entity looks like or what the Tax Authority checks for, it is because we have done it, not because we read about it.

Expatico is where that experience meets Portugal.
