The main objective of this essay is to discuss startups from an introduction standpoint, focusing mainly on Brazil and healthcare. Despite Brazil's idiocrasy as a country, such as the fact that much of the research is funded by the government, Brazil is a ‘globalized’ country, what makes theories developed in other countries Applicable for our culture. This observation, among other factors, motivated the writing of this essay based almost exclusively on materials published in English. It is concluded, as a result of the readings, that startups are currently a concept present in Brazil, and, additionally, that healthcare startups need special attention.
