Bloop

Lisbon, Portugal · Startup

Bloop is a Lisbon-based social-commerce startup founded by Francisco Rodrigues (CEO) and João Neves (CTO), both alumni of companies including Amazon, Farfetch, Microsoft and Uber. Conceived in 2022 and formalised in 2024, it operates what it calls the world's first social shopping network — a platform that fuses a product marketplace with the mechanics of a social feed, turning ordinary consumers into paid recommenders. Users earn wallet credits of up to 10% of a purchase's value for publishing authentic recommendations, and up to 5% commission on referral sales, while sellers gain community-generated exposure instead of paid ads. At its July 2025 public beta the platform carried 200,000+ products from 150+ brands and reported a ~4.5% conversion rate. Bloop has raised about €1.5M in pre-seed capital co-led by Monarque Funds and Insure Broker, including one of Portugal's largest retail crowdfunding rounds, and targeted a €5M seed to expand into Spain and France.

Sword Health

Porto, Portugal · Startup

Sword Health is a Portuguese digital health company focused on musculoskeletal care delivered through a mix of sensors, software, and remote clinical support. The company became prominent by showing that physical therapy does not need to depend entirely on repeated in-person visits when patient motion can be measured remotely and paired with continuous guidance from licensed professionals. Its model combines wearable motion tracking, AI-assisted feedback, and human clinicians into a structured care program that large employers and health plans can offer at scale. That makes Sword Health more than a telehealth app; it is a vertically integrated care-delivery product with hardware, data, and clinical workflow built together. In the European startup ecosystem, Sword Health is a strong example of how deep health-tech products can emerge from the region and sell into highly demanding enterprise buyers in healthcare and HR. It also broadens the directory's coverage of sensor-driven health platforms by linking medical use cases with the kinds of product, data, and device capabilities that have made other European health companies successful.
