About us
Worktugal is a small community for people building a life in Lisbon. Moved here recently, work remotely, run your own thing, or just want better company than a group chat? You're welcome.
We keep things small and friendly:
- Lightning Talks at Kübe in Alvalade. 3 people, 10 minutes each, telling how they actually got where they are. Then questions and a chat. Free.
- Small dinners where seats are picked on purpose and phones stay in pockets.
- A peer room for solo builders and freelancers.
Come as you are, bring a friend, stay as long as you like. I'm Van, your host, and I'll be the one saying hi at the door.
