Fizemos is a company created in 2020 in France, and mean "we did" in Portuguese.
The main goal is to save more time, creating a capital of ideas and the possibility of making them materialized.

In this way, it is possible to say "I did" or "we did" because we believe that having ideas and doing successful projects is also doable with the help from partners, friends or colleagues.

According to Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

"Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information that confirms or support one's prior personal beliefs or values.[1] It is an important type of cognitive bias that has a significant effect on the proper functioning of society by distorting evidence-based decision-making. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way."
