About us

Turning diaspora ambition into regenerative businesses.

Vivid Space is a hub for regenerative entrepreneurship. We help members of the African diaspora start net-zero ventures — building businesses that create income while restoring land, coasts and communities.

The team

We wanted to be guardians of our heritage.

We grew up together in Portugal; our families came from Guiné-Bissau and Angola. We know first-hand the importance of resourcefulness — especially when key ecosystems are vulnerable and critical knowledge is at risk of not being transferred. Vivid Space became our answer: a practical, trusted route for our generation to build sustainable solutions and protect the heritage of the communities we care about.
