Growth Ignition: New Venture from Pina Martins and ex-Google Aims to Boost Portuguese Sales via Amazon and AI

Miguel Pina Martins (Science4You chairman) and Nuno Pimenta (former Google Portugal) have launched Growth Ignition, a new company focused on helping Portuguese businesses scale through Amazon and AI-powered lead generation.

Already working with 10 clients since its March launch, the Lisbon-based startup combines Amazon growth strategies with AI marketing automation that identifies B2B opportunities through platforms like LinkedIn. Some early clients reportedly hit five-figure monthly sales on Amazon, while the AI service scheduled over 100 international sales meetings in its first month.

Growth Ignition aims for €500K in revenue by end of 2025 and €2M in 2026, with 30–40 clients. Self-funded for now, the team may seek external investment after proving the concept. Hiring is ongoing for senior roles in operations, Amazon, and AI, plus junior support profiles.
