Proofs Could Be Poland’s Next Unicorn
Proofs Aims to Reinvent Sales Engineering with AI Agents That Build PoCs in Hours, Not Weeks — and Attracts Early Backing from ElevenLabs’ Lead Investor
In a Polish tech ecosystem still short on unicorns, Proofs is quickly emerging as a serious contender. Founded by seasoned operator and digital strategist Bartek Pucek, Proofs is reimagining one of the most costly and time-intensive parts of enterprise software sales: Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs). Instead of spending weeks—and often hundreds of thousands of euros—building custom demos, sales engineers using Proofs can now deploy fully functional, branded PoCs in just a few hours, thanks to a team of AI agents purpose-built for full-stack application generation. The startup has already attracted high-profile attention. Among its early backers is the lead investor of ElevenLabs, Poland’s first true unicorn in the generative AI space. This backing signals strong conviction in Proofs’ potential to not only redefine sales engineering but also position Poland as a global hub for applied AI in B2B enterprise tech.

Why This Matters
For years, solution architects, pre-sales engineers, and enterprise sales teams have faced the same friction: building a compelling PoC for each prospect is expensive, slow, and distracts from core product work. According to one VP of Sales Engineering cited by the team, preparing 500 demos a year with 6 hours of pre-configuration per demo translated into $600,000 in annual engineering cost—just for demos.
Proofs attacks this bottleneck with an AI-native platform that automates the end-to-end PoC build process:
Frontend and backend development
Data integration
Live previews
Push-to-GitHub delivery with production-ready code
All from a simple prompt.
It’s not a no-code tool. It’s not a template. It’s real, customized, enterprise-grade software, generated on demand.
Measurable Results
Proofs claims early adopters have achieved:
90% reduction in PoC development cost
Sales cycle times cut from 4–6 weeks to under 24 hours
10x more PoCs shipped with existing teams
That’s more than acceleration—it’s a transformation.
Built for Enterprise, But Scalable to All
The platform supports modern stacks like React, Next.js, Contentful, Streamlit, Shopify, FastAPI, Snowflake, and more. Code is not only deployed live but also pushed via pull requests into the user’s GitHub repo, enabling full transparency and version control.

The product’s core users include:
Sales Engineers & Solution Architects – to escape repetitive low-impact coding
CTOs & VPs of Engineering – to keep engineering teams focused on product, not pre-sales
Sales Leaders – to close deals faster and more effectively
Prototypers & vibe coders – to rapidly explore product-market fit
From Sidekick to Strategic Weapon
While many AI tools function as assistants, Proofs positions itself as an autonomous builder, capable of delivering production-grade work tailored to the buyer’s own stack and brand—something that demo generators and product tours cannot achieve. This turns PoCs into a strategic lever. Buyers don’t see a general demo—they experience their own solution.
More Than a Hype Cycle
Proofs’ potential lies not just in automation, but in its fit with real-world enterprise sales friction. The company has already demonstrated robust capabilities with use cases ranging from:
Ecommerce PoCs with Algolia and Stripe
Dashboards for Snowflake and Streamlit
Narrated product tours using ElevenLabs
With global SaaS companies seeking ways to lower customer acquisition costs while improving sales efficiency, Proofs offers a rare combination: clear ROI, scalable architecture, and defensible IP. These are hallmarks of unicorn-grade companies.
And if Poland needed a candidate to follow ElevenLabs’ path to global impact, Proofs may be exactly what prospects—and the ecosystem—want to buy.
