About this event
If you’re building, joining, or curious about startups in São Paulo, this is the kind of room you want to be in. WAZO - Welcome Aboard ZeroOnze Startups | Edição #20 brings together people who care about technology, entrepreneurship, and real connections, in a setting designed for conversation rather than passive attendance. Hosted in person at the Oracle Innovation Center on Wednesday, February 11 at 6:30 PM GMT-3, this edition combines community energy with a strong tech backdrop. It’s a chance to meet founders, operators, developers, and startup-minded professionals who are actively shaping what’s next in the local ecosystem. About the Event WAZO is built around a simple idea: startup communities grow faster when the right people can meet each other easily, share context, and discover practical opportunities to collaborate. This edition continues that mission by creating an environment where networking feels purposeful, not random, and where conversations can move quickly from introductions to real exchange. The event sits at the intersection of startup, tech, community, and networking. That means you can expect a mix of perspectives in the room: people launching ideas, people scaling teams, people working with emerging technologies, and people looking to become more connected to the São Paulo innovation scene. Because this is an in-person gathering at the Oracle Innovation Center, the format matters as much as the content. The venue signals a focus on innovation and applied technology, while the community-led nature of WAZO keeps the tone approachable. You don’t need to arrive with a perfect pitch or a polished agenda; you just need to be ready to engage. At its core, this is a welcome point into the ZeroOnze Startups network. Whether you’re showing up for the first time or returning for edition #20, the goal is the same: help good people in the ecosystem find each other faster. What to Expect Expect an evening that is social, fast-moving, and highly conversational. Rather than a formal conference experience, this kind of gathering typically works best when attendees can circulate, make introductions, and follow the threads that are most relevant to their work. You can look forward to a mix of moments such as: Arrival and informal networking with people from the startup and tech community Community introductions that help set the tone and connect attendees to the purpose of the event Conversations around startups and innovation, including current projects, challenges, and opportunities Organic relationship-building with founders, future teammates, collaborators, and peers The strongest value usually comes from the room itself. One conversation might lead to a new partnership, another to a product insight, and another to a clearer picture of how others are navigating similar challenges in the market. That variety is part of what makes community-driven startup events useful. This is also the kind of event where being proactive pays off. If you come prepared to introduce yourself clearly, ask good questions, and listen carefully, you’ll likely leave with far more than a stack of contacts. You’ll leave with context: who’s building what, where the momentum is, and how you might fit into it. Why Attend São Paulo has no shortage of ambitious people, but not every event creates the right conditions for meaningful exchange. WAZO stands out because it is anchored in community and designed around startup relevance. The emphasis is not just on being present, but on being connected to people who are working on things that matter now. Attending can help you: Expand your network with people who are active in startups and technology Discover opportunities for collaboration, hiring, partnerships, or new projects Stay close to the ecosystem by hearing what others are building and where energy is moving Gain perspective from conversations with professionals across different stages and roles Build visibility by showing up consistently in the right rooms For founders and startup teams, events like this can shorten the distance between an idea and the people who can help move it forward. For professionals exploring the ecosystem, it offers a practical entry point into a community that can otherwise feel hard to access from the outside. There is also real value in attending a milestone edition. By edition #20, an event has rhythm, returning participants, and a clearer sense of what kind of community it is attracting. That continuity can make the experience more grounded and more useful than one-off meetups with no ongoing network behind them. Practical Details This event takes place in person at the Oracle Innovation Center in São Paulo, Brazil. The setting is especially fitting for a startup and tech community gathering, giving the evening a strong innovation context while keeping the focus on people and conversation. Date and time: Wednesday, February 11 6:30 PM GMT-3 Because it’s an evening event, it works well for attendees coming from work, meetings, or startup routines during the day. Plan to arrive on time so you can take advantage of the early networking window, when introductions tend to be easiest and the room is still opening up. A few practical tips to get the most from the event: Come ready to introduce yourself in one or two clear sentences Think about the kinds of people you want to meet: founders, builders, operators, or potential collaborators Be open to conversations outside your immediate niche; some of the best connections come from adjacent fields If you’re new to the community, this is a strong entry point because the event is explicitly about welcome and connection If your work or interests sit anywhere near startups, technology, innovation, or ecosystem-building, WAZO edition #20 is a smart room to be in on a Wednesday evening in São Paulo.
