The Lisbon indie SaaS scene
Lisbon's founder scene exploded after 2020 with the digital-nomad and tax-incentive driven migration. The cohort is unusually international – German, French, Brazilian, and US founders all show up – and the indie SaaS density is real. Web Summit anchors the annual visibility moment but day-to-day activity is community-driven.
