Naura Innovation Lab

Four years ago, I was on holiday in Brazil when the idea started to take shape. I remember thinking: who are the right people for this? I started going through my contacts, looking for those I believed could actually pull it off. That was the beginning of Naura Innovation Lab. We started as a team of 13, working out of a 13-square-metre office in Lisbon. Today we're 45 people, our revenue more than doubled in 2025, and we just closed a new deal with another Swiss company. But the next chapter is something I've been thinking about for a while. Brazil. The opportunity is clear: millions of Brazilians who can't open a bank account in Portugal, who still rely on friends to transfer money, who pay too much to move money across borders. We want to change that using Pix to pay Portuguese bank accounts directly, cutting out intermediaries and reducing costs. It won't be simple. Regulated environments never are. But that's exactly the kind of challenge we were built for. 🔩 🔗 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eUSFyDde #Naura #NauraInnovationLab #Fintech #Banking #Engineering

The problems we solve aren't simple. And that's exactly the point! #Naura #NauraInnovationLab #Engineering #Systems #Technology

This week, our Data Engineer Filipe Lima and Head of Data Filipe Mendes represented Naura at one of Europe's most exciting data events on three days of conversations that actually matter. From data engineering to team leadership, the topics covered at Data Makers Fest reflect exactly the challenges we navigate every day with our clients. Good energy, good people and a few ideas worth bringing back to the team. 💬 #Naura #NauraInnovationLab #DataMakersFest #Engineering #Technology

Some companies frame their values and hang them on the wall. We try to actually live by them. Every day. 👀 #Naura #NauraInnovationLab #Engineering #Culture #LongTermThinking

If your system starts to break when you scale, the problem didn't start there. It started earlier, in the decisions that seemed small at the time. That’s usually where we step in. At Naura, we help companies rethink those foundations and build systems that can actually grow without breaking. ⚙️ #Naura #NauraInnovationLab #Engineering #Systems #Technology #Business

We didn't set out to create a company. We set out to solve a complex problem. Over time, the way we worked, the decisions we made and the teams we built turned into something consistent. Naura is just a clearer version of that. 😀 #NauraInnovationLab #Engineering #Systems #Technology #Growth

There's always a shortcut. A workaround. A quick fix. Something that “does the job” for now. We're just not interested. 🚫 At Naura, we take the time to understand things properly and to keep the process clear:  honest conversations, straight decisions, no unnecessary layers. It might not be the fastest path. ⏳ But it's the one that holds: six months from now, and six years from now. #Naura #NauraInnovationLab #Engineering #Systems #Technology #Thinking

Building a system involves much more than writing code. These are the core areas we work across at Naura, from understanding the problem to keeping systems running in production. Each one plays a role in building something that actually works, scales and evolves over time. 📈 #NauraInnovationLab #Engineering #Systems #Technology #AI
