About

Welcome to The Start Zone. Here you will find interviews with startups and other interesting thinkers, book reviews, and other thoughts on technology and digital transformation.

I am Pedro Mendes. I have been working in IT for almost 20 years, always in web related projects. I’ve helped launch Portugal’s online IRS submission system, IBM Portugal’s website, and the Portuguese Securities Commission web presence.

I am a Partner at Coffeepaste, a Portuguese site dedicated to the Arts. I oversee the overall content and digital marketing strategy.

I also build sites using WordPress.
Some examples:

• Wine Discoveries
• Coffeepaste
• Da Vinha ao Vinho
• Anton Skrzypiciel
• Jaime Santiago Music
