About
I’m Carlos Guedes, a Portuguese creative entrepreneur, storyteller and independent founder from the outskirts of Lisbon. I build technology, platforms and cultural projects that expand access for creators across the Portuguese-speaking world. I founded 2 LADOS and created DUA, DUA Market and KYNTAL to connect creativity with professional tools, opportunities, community, commerce and distribution. My work is driven by cultural inclusion, practical innovation and the belief that globally ambitious products can be built from the periphery, in our languages and for our communities.
