Startup Community Poznań Meetup #42: HRtech & AI

Startup Community Poznań is back with another inspiring event where we bring together the brightest minds of our ecosystem. This time, we’ll dive into the realities of building resilient startups and explore how founders and builders can leverage AI made in Poland.

🔥 Founder’s Story: What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
with Michał Gąszczyk, Co-founder @ inhire.io
Every founder’s journey is a masterclass — and Michał’s story is packed with hard-won lessons. He’ll share the pivotal moments and critical decisions that shaped inhire.io’s path in a competitive market, from managing founder alignment to avoiding the “sales star trap.” Discover how to build systems that scale and why balance, not burnout, is key to sustainable growth.

💡 Bielik.ai – Use Cases for Startups
with Anna Przybył, Data Scientist @ SpeakLeash Foundation & Bielik.ai Team
Forget abstract AI talk — this session is all about startup-ready use cases you can build this quarter. Ania will show how Bielik, Poland’s family of open LLMs (4.5B–11B parameters), delivers results that global models often miss. You’ll learn how to choose the right model, what to automate first, and how to measure ROI from week one — all while keeping costs and data under control.

👥 Why join?
This is not just about listening — it’s about connecting. Expect practical insights you can apply right away and meet founders, builders, investors, and tech enthusiasts shaping the next wave of Polish startups. Whether you’re scaling, just starting out, or curious about AI and growth, this is the place to be.
