#14 Mapping the Unseen: naPorta’s Quest to Connect Brazil’s Favelas
Discover how naPorta, a Brazilian startup, is transforming favelas by bringing e-commerce to communities long ignored by traditional logistics.
Founded by a passionate team led by Katrine Scomparin, Leonardo Medeiros, and two of their co-founders, naPorta is driven by a powerful purpose: to deliver everything to everyone in Brazil's favelas.
Overcoming barriers like restricted zip codes and societal stereotypes, they’ve slashed delivery times from 10-15 days to just two, while creating over 100 jobs paying 150% above the minimum wage in favelas. With favelas generating over 220 billion reals in economic activity in 2021, naPorta is tapping into a vibrant market, fostering economic empowerment, and even partnering with governments to implement digital zip codes.
Join us to hear their inspiring story of resilience, innovation, and impact, as they map the unseen and redefine what’s possible for Brazil’s underserved communities.
