António Casanova is a co-founder of Shilling VC who brings an unusual combination of multinational consumer brand leadership as former CEO of Unilever FIMA and early-stage tech investing experience since launching the fund in 2011. His public bio stands out for its anti-hero approach, candidly rejecting typical investor self-promotion while offering practical founder advice about studying hard, doing research, and being extremely careful with hiring to avoid the emotional cost of layoffs.
