P3: from whiteboard to 4,000 companies
P3 is a smart corporate expense management platform: total control over company spending, autonomy for teams and efficient financial management, all in one place, with corporate cards issued by P3. In its early days, Marcelo worked with Fernando Nery, P3's founder and CEO, to design and model the platform, its processes, applications and database, and ran the build of its first version.
P3 has since been through Y Combinator twice and raised a seed round led by Better Tomorrow Ventures.

Questions people ask us
Not here? Ask us over a call or a coffee.
Why are most clients anonymous?
Most of our clients are law firms and start-ups that would rather not be named. We describe the problem, what we did and what changed, and name a client only when they agree, as P3 did.
What's the difference between consultancy and idea-to-launch work?
In consultancy we analyse, design and cost the solution; you own the plan and can build it with anyone. In idea-to-launch work we build it, launch it, host it and support it ourselves.
Can you take over a system someone else built?
Yes. We start with a review of what exists and tell you whether to fix it, extend it or replace it.
What is a proof of concept, and what is an MVP?
A proof of concept (POC) shows the riskiest part of an idea works. A minimum viable product (MVP) is the smallest version real users can use and pay for. We usually build one, then the other.
