Show HN: StartupsBR – A map of Brazilian startups (startupsbr.com)

54 points by leonagano ↗ HN
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.

interesting, can you eli5 the main use case? is it job opportunities for developers?

that'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?

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)

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.
