boo-box, an example of successful business entrepreneurship!
boo-box has been cited in several publications as an example of successful entrepreneurship that is increasingly conquering more and more devotees around the globe each day.
One of the first magazines to mention boo-box was Webdesign. In an interview with them, Marco Gomes outlined his reasons for leaving behind a successful career at AgênciaClick to invest in boo-box, launching a new phase in his own career. As a good entrepreneur, he states:
(…) I was seeking new challenges. When the boo-box project began to gain momentum, I began to understand the scope of what we could really do based on the concepts we had created, and I was really, really excited by the prospect. I wanted to dedicate myself full time to the project.” The rest of the interview goes on to detail the company’s first steps, seeking out the investment partner Monashees, and following through to the goals and dreams boo-box foresees in its future.
Você S/A magazine also cited boo-box in their April 2008 edition, in an interview with Marcos Tanaka, the company’s CEO, who declares having a “taste for risk-taking” as he, just like Marco Gomes, left behind a successful career as a consultant to associate himself to boo-box, even knowing that this would mean radically altering his lifestyle. He concludes with:
(…) I wanted to be a pioneer, an entrepreneur, I wanted to create more.

boo-box’s most recent venture into printed press was in Exame magazine. In a recent article about the internet, the publication cites boo-box as one of the many examples of successful businesses. In the article, Marco Gomes presents relevant data on boo-box’s performance and asserts that it was the interest and coverage of specialized media that drew the attention of investor partners Monashees.
The Ikwa Team — a company in which Monashees have chosen to invest as well — was also cited in the interview as an example of successful business entrepreneurship.
boo-box’s first television apparition was on the news interest segment Mundo S/A, on GloboNews channel, in a very interesting bulletin featuring Marco Gomes (founder) and Marcos Tanaka (CEO), who explained the emergence of boo-box in the market and as well as the company’s expectations for the future. Eric Acher, managing partner of Monashees, also spoke about their investment in the company, citing the reasons why boo-box drew their attention, and which of their characteristics were vital to the final decision of investing.
(…) we saw young entrepreneurs with enormous potential, who are entrepreneurs by choice. They could be following careers in more established corporations but instead chose to go out on a limb and face the challenge of following their own vision.
