@zorankokolanski @matiii @dabkowski_piotr @ElevenLabs can't wait 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

[zoran kokolanski @zorankokolanski]

The best AI voice company in the world doesn't come from Silicon Valley.

It comes from Poland.

@matiii and @dabkowski_piotr turned @ElevenLabs into a unicorn in under 2 years.

Now they're partnering with us in Warsaw.

Sign up below if you wanna join the next rocketship from Poland, early.

Most haven’t noticed yet but some of Europe’s best builders are Polish.

OpenAI, Snowflake, ElevenLabs all have Polish co-founders. There’s a reason Palantir, Waymo, Revolut built in Warsaw.

March 31, Founder Showcase in Warsaw hosted by @joinfivedegrees, @lightspeedvp & @CredoVentures

Outlier founders hiring meet cracked Polish builders.

I found my dream job before building on my own.

An AI consumer app with 1M+ DAUs and €50M+ raised. Yes, in Europe. 🇪🇺

All thanks to five degrees — a community pushing top talent into the next Revolut, Lovable, or Spotify before they build. Proud of my friend Zoran!
