Tony Celestino

Hey there! I'm a passionate entrepreneur, I've founded a few companies, some have failed and others were succesful. I became a community leader @ StartupAL to foster my local startup community, later I was invited to start UP Global's (now Techstars) office in Brazil, where I currently work as Regional Director for their Startup Programs (Startup Weekend, Startup Next and Startup Week).

I love to meet new people, hear their stories and help them connect with other like-minded people. I was born and raised at Maceio, a tropical paradise in Brazil, but now I live in the concrete jungle they call São Paulo. I've graduated at NCA in Rochester, NY and I've lived and worked in New York, NY and Mountain View, CA.
