It might be a bit more difficult today to become a digital nomad than it used to be just over year ago… But still we should follow up with examples of such an extraordinary life. Kamil Skalski will be our guide today. Welcome! Digital nomad vs entrepreneur The story could be like any other and it’s not just IT staff who are entitled to travel and work at the same time… Kamil is an engineer but that’s not what makes him special! His case is interesting for me because there is a side-hustle involved. And as a result of this side hustle we can read and listen about Elector.pro, a company created ..read more

Today we discuss another example of a niche marketplace startup and the importance of focus on the needs of the customers. The times we live in force us to have a scalpel-like precision when it comes to business. Just like folks at Slowhop!

Moreover! My business is sort of the same as we deliver online services in a ve ..read more

How much do we need to start off? Is 1M PLN round, covering the seed stage of a startup enough in Poland? Let’s try to find out looking at a very specific example, thanks to my todays guest – Przemysław Siemaszko. Building a software startup? 1M PLN round should be enough. Long story short this kind of money should be enough at least to prove something. Looking at GGPredict and their automated CS:GO coach I feel that they’re really onto something. That’s not only because the Counter-Strike niche is super obvious and gather a lot of gamers around it, but mainly because they tackle a rapid covi ..read more

This time we tackle a topic that’s probably one of the biggest headaches for managers and companies in general. And that’s hiring of course!
