Trajectory U.S. Market Excellence

ShopCouture was founded in 2015 by Patricia Pimentel — who had been running Couture Trading since 2000 — with the goal of democratizing access to the U.S. market for international companies of all sizes.

Recognizing that small and medium-sized entrepreneurs faced nearly insurmountable barriers, Patricia joined forces with Luiz Pimentel to develop the NTI Method (New Testament of U.S. Market Entry), while taking on the role of Financial Director overseeing the strategic and financial aspects of the operation.
