If you love pets, then you are going to LOVE our guest, Artur Sousa, founder of adopets, a platform designed to empower shelters and rescues to save more lives by reducing staff and volunteer's workload. Adopets offers a seamless adoption ecosystem that helps shelter and rescue partners operate more efficiently and focus on what really matters - saving more pets.

How wonderful is that?

Artur is a social entrepreneur with a mission to support other entrepreneurs in all their endeavors, working closely together to develop ventures that will impact the world in a powerful and positive way.

He is a proud winner of a United Nations MDG Award and Member of the Royal Academy of Arts & Music, located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He has participated in several human rights initiatives and has been an activist for Hansen's disease eradication.

In addition, he is known as an enthusiastic theater professor and public speaker.

As Artur continues on his journey of social impact, he hopes to build on his achievements by using entrepreneurship to break the poverty cycle.

I had the good fortune to meet Artur several years ago while he was working at MassChallenge Headquarters in Boston… where I am a volunteer mentor… and we became instant friends. Like 100% Kindred Spirits!
