What does it take to spot the next generation of world-changing companies?In this episode of People Of Lisbon, we spend the day with Stephan de Moraes - surfer, investor, Harvard graduate, podcaster and one of the leading figures in Portugal's startup ecosystem.From the offices of Indico Capital Partners to the streets of Lisbon where he grew up, Stephan de Moraes shares his journey from dreaming of becoming an astronaut to investing in ambitious founders building global companies. Along the way, we talk about entrepreneurship, risk-taking, fatherhood, surfing, psychology, politics, and why Portugal consistently punches above its weight in technology.Stephan de Moraes also reveals how venture capitalists evaluate founders, why Indico psychologically assesses entrepreneurs during due diligence, and what separates successful global leaders from everyone else.A thoughtful conversation about ambition, truth, independence, and choosing Lisbon as home.  / stephan_morais   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3lvNU1WQlRMOVJxMUlCRlZjMTVzWXFoTTRkUXxBQ3Jtc0trVzBFblVDUW5hMWp2WW12bko1NXZicTJDTGltNW1QbXM1a0xMOExmdkswV2hLazR3akFNamNEUm9Va1YzWUU1ZTIwZ2pvcmFyQ3V1Z0sxaktZRlBteDViY0IxenljU0hOZHMzUHJxanVTUi16X3RaQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fstephan_morais%2F&v=Pc2TCNcJCUE]  / indicocapital   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHRxQlFqRFQyYVoyM0FSdW9ubnZCdTE2Q3pnUXxBQ3Jtc0ttN2ZRNUNHLWNrY2pXWG0zcDA3WkxPS2pZRkNvRWF2VGRIeWE2Rlp0VlpOVlo0ckhEbTRjYm1BY0VlV0hOLWQwVzM1ZmxBY3E5dncxcDlQZUFCWVBfS1hTU0pJQkZ6UV9YdHozaEtmTUFQSC03ejU5aw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Findicocapital%2F&v=Pc2TCNcJCUE]Please support the partners who help make People Of Lisbon possible:Fresh Legal GroupFor Tax and Legal Advice in Portugalhttps://fresh-legal.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblZfQmljazIweWlzQ2xOTGpoQ0dwSGtHZk1DUXxBQ3Jtc0trTFR3a3RMUGJJUVFiaWZDN1RXUW5OZXF1Q3ZBdVZCTmx2dzE3Sm1DR0dZUkVoTkhydXZuS3FxMWJpYnR1bHNVY2ZNQUNUVUZlSEF6eVdiQTd6RlRKQjg5ZFpfdTNkM1FDSDJYMTRlcE4xS0E1dzVKVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Ffresh-legal.com%2F&v=Pc2TCNcJCUE]United Medical Clinic LisbonFast and easy access to medical care for expats, tourists & localshttps://lisbon.umc.clinic/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjNDTTNoWGl4WG1qLUJRSVdXeHgwajlQY05TZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuZS1ZcDNsQzNWOWZzTG93MjZTMXpYb0NDQmNEblphLXFLM196T0VEWWlwSGJ5ODBlYVA1QTFCV21QYTBOM3lRQ3I0VGtGZmxvNHlSOGZKOHMyQkxab3NEWnM2R2RLcGN4T0ZSTmJqQUw1b2E1OVFNSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Flisbon.umc.clinic%2F&v=Pc2TCNcJCUE]MoviinnMoving abroad made simplehttps://www.moviinn.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDBDNVBQd1JpVUo0blFrWDY2TVppcjFLQkRiQXxBQ3Jtc0tuZEJ2Q1hBb0hpZlkybWRneURyWEYxVkJIODJPdXZjSkVuejJEZ19DQUd3MnZHamZMdTJuQm9JZFlqd0I0NGN3dXc5LVZ1Q3NCNThmeDdwUVQtZ3pSd2k4WHJkUTlEMzQ3dGN5TUE2eDBPY2tIZ0hyQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moviinn.com%2F&v=Pc2TCNcJCUE]Practice PortugueseLearn Portuguese from Portugal — as it's spoken in Lisbon, Porto, Algarve and across the countryhttps://www.practiceportuguese.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGhtUGpUeDdvSDYzdnhhcjhqakhKbDhMUjVzQXxBQ3Jtc0trRjV1YjFHblc0Rlg4N21CZElZZXZTWG14d2lpREpOQUkxN0NYQmtTVGNFdjBVUkhJWGJOSnEtTlZrRUphWFdnOHpMUGJ6Y0o5SjBkc19YT29DWk5NNVI2QzRzWFlRVk5POWRPYVdBaU5VRE81UmQ3SQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.practiceportuguese.com%2F&v=Pc2TCNcJCUE]Join Club People Of LisbonBecome part of our community and support the project:https://www.peopleoflisbon.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbkZlUzVPeVN6WTljYmhoZmU3Ykt2U1J4OEZnUXxBQ3Jtc0tuZVk4d0VVdmYtTlFlVG9kVm1xZDRxN2ctalhOVF80WHRVaXN6NDFNQi1ZMHVUWWpmSmZManpkODZGUlkwQjlrUHdpcUZyNFo4SG1oV2RseHVVaFdiQWMwam8zenNkRFNMM2Q3dHRmQW51MjEwNW1OQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.peopleoflisbon.com%2F&v=Pc2TCNcJCUE]Video by Stephen O'Regan Photographer Rita Ansone

This Doctor Opened His Dream Clinic in Lisbon

In this episode of People Of Lisbon, we meet with Dr. Roman Sorkin, founder of United Medical Clinic, to hear the full story behind his journey from Saint Petersburg to Lisbon - and how he built his dream clinic here. Roman is a surgeon and proctologist, and this conversation goes from the practical realities of being a doctor, to the challenges of starting over in a new country, to building a clinic that serves people from all over the world. We talk about what it’s like providing healthcare to expats in Lisbon, why language matters so much in medicine, and how his clinic now supports patients from over 160 countries. There are also some lighter moments along the way… including a very honest explanation of what a proctologist actually does. This is a longer, more relaxed conversation - a rough cut of the full audio - where you get to spend real time with Roman, hear his perspective, and understand the thinking behind what he’s building. A story about moving country, starting again, and creating something meaningful in Lisbon.
