The story
Five chapters, one treasure hunt.
I dig for things worth finding. Old coins at the weekend, and the rest of the week, products people actually want. Here's how that search has gone so far.

1,500 emails
In high school I joined the Zwolnieni z Teorii olympiad and started Ecovita with friends. I led the project, which meant nobody else was going to find partners for us.
So I wrote to them. About 1,500 emails, by hand. Enough of them said yes that we ran eco-quizzes with prizes in around ten Warsaw high schools for about a thousand students, and shipped a zero-waste app to Google Play.
What it taught me
Distribution is manual work long before it's a strategy.

Ideas don't fill waitlists
Next came Riddep, a positive social network for young people, and then Advena, an app that matches people with social projects based on their skills. We were early to AI and trusted it too much.
Advena still took us places: a debate on AI in Polish schools with the Deputy Minister of Digitization, a partnership with the Catholic Intelligentsia Club in Warsaw and Silver Wolves for the best social project in the region. What it never got was a full waitlist.
What it taught me
Marketing decides more often than the product does.

Three pivots
Codaro started after the Econverse V4 final. An honourable mention at TeenCrunch got us into Google for Startups Campus in Warsaw, where we spent eight months.
We pivoted three times: from verifying freelancers' hours, to a live view for team leads, to a quality gate for AI-generated code. I ran marketing, partnerships and sprints, gave my first pitch at Pitch Me Baby, and co-organised a hackathon for 100+ developers even though none of us had ever been to one.
The first sale came in March 2026. Users kept growing, sales didn't. In May we asked ourselves whether it still made sense. Part of the team carried on, and I stepped back.
What it taught me
Whoever leads owns the result. Follow traction, not your first idea.

The road
Right after Codaro I hitchhiked from Poland to Istanbul and back with a friend. Three weeks on the road was the reset I needed.
Then I spent four months at Tidio, building the website for the Lyro AI agent, now Ayro, and prototyping AI tools for the marketing team.

Now
Back to school
Since October 2026 I've been studying at SGH Warsaw School of Economics.
The next chapter isn't written yet. If you're building something worth finding, let's talk.
