- barrybe 15y agoThis story occurs a few dozen times a day in the valley, but I guess when it's a cute young girl, it's newsworthy.
- zanst 15y agoNot only that, but you don't know how difficult is for an Brazilian from the middle class(or lower) obtain space like her did. I bet that things like this don't happens a few dozen times here.
- vicngtor 15y agoThis happens quite a lot in the valley.
- sp332 15y agoI think the point of the story is in the second paragraph: It’s not a story about luck or privilege; Isabel Pesce’s trajectory is a shining example of determination against all odds. But I think the valley is largely about privilege, and it's going to take more than one counter-example to convince me otherwise.
- dudurocha 15y agoShe was a intern at google, and dropped out its master degrees. Not so much newsworthy. But, as a brazilian myself, I'm proud of what bel already accomplished. Being a co-found with Wencelao Casares is a great thing.
- melling 15y agoHer app sounds interesting and useful and she's getting $10 million dollars in funding. Does this really happen everyday in Silicon Valley? How many make it?
