This all-in-one tech-enabled platform enables all companies — regardless of their size — to design, consolidate and personalise their compensation offers beyond salary. Companies can supercharge their employee benefits while saving both time and money. Coverflex calls this “Compensation as a Service”. Miguel is also the founder of Studentfinance.com (edtech startup promoting Income-Share -Agreements (“ISA”) to help increase educational opportunity and empower people to access high-impact careers) & Uniplaces.com (consumer marketplace to mid-to-long term rentals).Miguel is also a Partner, since 2017, in the most active pre-seed and seed VC in Portugal - Shilling.vc - as well as a lead mentor role in Techstars.
