Ideas in the pipeline

An encore is what happens when something resonates

It's not just a repeat performance — it's what happens when people want more. That's the idea behind everything we build at Encore Ideas.

What ties our ventures together
  • Every product we build is rooted in a real, human problem — not a trend we're chasing.

  • From consumer apps and lifestyle brands to AI tools and technology platforms, every venture is designed to bring people closer together.

Why we build this way

People before products

We start with the community or the person we're trying to help — the product comes second.

Built to last, not just to launch

We'd rather build five things people love than fifty things nobody remembers.

Our portfolio

Two live products today, with a growing pipeline of ventures behind them.

MomMatch

Helping moms find their village — connecting mothers with the friendships and community they're looking for.

Kit Culture

Sports fashion inspired by the culture, identity and stories behind the world's greatest teams.

Algarve Concierge Coming Soon

Connecting expats and English-speakers with trusted, vetted services across the Algarve.

Portugal Padel League Coming Soon

A league, tournaments and a community built around Portugal's fastest-growing sport.

How we work

A simple filter guides every idea that becomes a venture.

01
Does it make life better?

We don't start by asking "will it make money?" We start with "does this genuinely help people?"

02
Build, test, learn

We move quickly from idea to a real, usable product — then listen closely to the people using it.

03
Grow what resonates

The ventures that earn an encore from their community are the ones we invest further in.
