Serial Founder · Unicorn Builder

"Poland has world-class talent and unstoppable ambition. What's been missing is a bridge between those who've scaled and those who are scaling now."

01

Why Now

Over 30 years of relentless growth turned Poland into one of Europe's most dynamic economies. But our ambition doesn't stop here.

Poland has the talent, the founders, and the momentum. What's been missing is a structured way to pass hard-won scaling expertise from those who've already built global companies to those building them right now. That's why we're bringing Project Poland to life.
