ABOUT US

READY TO WORK WITH US

We exist because there is a gap between intention and access.

Many organisations want to diversify their teams, suppliers, ande and partnerships — but lack a reliable, structured way to connect. At the same time, founders and professionals are building strong work without visibility or the right introductions.

MELLA bridges that gap through structure, care, and cultural awareness.

Founder

MELLA Supply was founded by Ana Martins, an ecosystem builder and entrepreneur working at the intersection of business, visibility, and access.

After years of working closely with founders, professionals, and companies, Ana repeatedly saw the same challenge: talent and businesses existed, but access depended on informal networks and personal connections.

MELLA Supply connects companies and stakeholders with Black and PALOP founders and professionals across Portugal and the diaspora.
