📅 Thu, July 8 — Entrepreneurial Start: How to Develop Yourself and Your Idea [PL] [FREE] [startup, brand building, innovation]
Best for: early-stage founders, student innovators, brand builders, startup-curious individuals
How do you go from a sketch of an idea to scaling a business globally? At “Przedsiębiorczy Start/Entrepreneurial Start”, you’ll get a roadmap. This high-impact event hosted at the Centrum Innowacji Politechniki Warszawskiej is designed for aspiring founders, especially students and young professionals eager to turn their ideas into ventures with market potential.
Over three hours, attendees will gain a fast-paced mix of theoretical insights, startup case studies, and structured networking. The session kicks off with an overview of the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development’s (PARP) innovation programs, setting the scene for actionable tools and growth strategies.
The theory block introduces key startup-building frameworks like Customer Development and Design Thinking, customized to help founders recognize and leverage their individual talents—a foundational shift from idea-first to self-aware innovation.
Following this, five active startup founders from Warsaw will share their unfiltered stories of growth, failure, and adaptation. Their practical advice spans everything from MVP validation to early team dynamics, branding, and market expansion.
The final segment features a moderated networking session in a “speed friending” format, led by Konrad Kaczmarczyk of Startup Academy. It’s a prime opportunity to meet like-minded entrepreneurs, form collaborations, or get feedback on your idea in a low-pressure environment.
