▶ QUICK SUMMARY
Alex Barros interprets EN↔PT directly for technology events in Brazil — Google Developer Day 2009 (2,000 receivers, WTC SP), Open Finance Brasil (800+ institutions), M&A of startups with international VC funds.
Technology × English–Portuguese — the largest EN↔PT market in the innovation ecosystem
Brazil's tech ecosystem operates largely in English. VC meetings (term sheets, board meetings, cap table discussions), developer conferences, M&A with American and European acquirers, and Open Finance seminars with international participants are part of daily corporate life in São Paulo's tech hub.
Two high-visibility documented cases: Google Developer Day 2009 (WTC SP, 2,000 individual UHF receivers — the largest tech event of its era in Brazil) and Open Finance Brasil 2021 (800+ financial institutions in a simultaneous regulatory process that included bilingual EN↔PT seminars).
Startup M&A — specific terminology
Startup M&A has its own vocabulary distinct from traditional corporate M&A: ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue), MRR, churn rate, NPS, LTV/CAC ratio, burn rate, runway, waterfall distribution, liquidation preference, anti-dilution, cap table, vesting schedule, cliff, tag-along vs drag-along in startup context.
Alex Barros operates this vocabulary with precision after mandates with BlackRock × Clash/Mutant (gaming startup) and growth equity funds with Brazilian tech portfolio. Quote in 60 seconds via WhatsApp +55 11 97534-6423.
Developer conferences and live demos
At developer conferences, the speaker shows code and products on screen while speaking. Names of commands, libraries and products usually stay in English even in the middle of a sentence in Portuguese, and the interpreter has to follow what appears on screen to decide what to translate and what to keep. Before the event, lingo agrees with the organizer on the list of terms that stay untranslated, and receives the demo script when there is one.
Pitch days and venture capital due diligence
In pitch days and in due diligence for venture capital funds, Alex prepares the startup's glossary from the pitch deck and the data room. This material brings the business metrics and the investment terms, and the lead time is 48 hours for remote meetings and 7 days for large conferences. The quote amount is the final invoice amount, and lingo signs the NDA before receiving any document.

Alex Barros requests the event deck and agenda 48 hours in advance to prepare the technical glossary specific to the event — proprietary company terms, industry acronyms, product names and internal metrics that do not appear in dictionaries. For recurring engagements, the glossary accumulates session after session. After 12 months of monthly boards, the interpreter knows the company's internal vocabulary as well as any senior executive.
For RSI (Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex): setup 30 minutes before with the host, no physical equipment, no freight cost. For in-person (UHF): installation 60–90 minutes before, portable soundproof booth, on-site technical operator. For hybrid: both formats in parallel. Lingo Qi Interpretações LTDA (CNPJ 53.834.741/0001-34) issues an electronic invoice for all events and accepts payment by TED, PIX or international transfer in BRL.
