Alexandre Barbosa is the founder and managing partner of Faber, a micro-VC firm he built from his own early portfolio including Unbabel, Seedrs, and Codacy to validate a specialized early-stage thesis before scaling into institutional venture capital. He was selected by the EIF and Portugal's development bank under the PORTUGAL TECH program as one of a handful of managers to channel EU and government capital into early-stage, data-centric ventures, explicitly citing his track record of being first local backer in standout Portuguese tech companies.
