I met Akna at Ness Labs during a virtual event to promote interaction among community members. In our call, I felt we had a lot in common in our approach to life and work. And I also sensed there was a lot more to uncover. This interview confirmed that my…

I first bumped into Tocha’s name through Pedro Andrade, a friend whose fantastic life journey I had the privilege to support as a mentor. Olisipo Way (more ahead) was one of the first two investors in Pedro’s Hunter Boards. And every time I spoke with Pedro, he kept saying great…
