For founders and investors from Poznan
Join the largest startup community in Poznań. Exchange knowledge, meet investors, and get support from people who are going through the same as you.
We integrate the Poznań startup community. We connect current and future founders with investors, experts, and people who can bring real value to their projects. We organize events, conferences, and meetings that help gain knowledge, contacts, and experience necessary to scale a business.
In startups, the moment "I need money" comes sooner than most expect. We shorten the distance between founders and investors - from business angels to VC funds. We facilitate conversations, mentoring, and fundraising so that good ideas don’t die just because of lack of funding.
Pitching, sales, leadership, team building, and mental resilience often get postponed. We offer workshops, AMAs with experts, masterminds, and mentoring that help you grow - business-wise, strategically, and mentally. Because a company won’t grow faster than its founder.
A startup is not a solo sprint. We create a local ecosystem where we exchange knowledge and support: a community on Slack, meetups, hangouts, and networking that normally takes years to build. You can bounce ideas, get feedback, find a partner, investor, or just people who understand you.
Every month we meet at an event where we invite founders and experts to share their experiences, cases, and insights from the field. After the substantive part, we stay for a casual hangout with the whole community. And it looks like this…
We are a community of people who build, collaborate, and support each other on the path to creating real value. We are not interested in titles - we are interested in action. In our community, there are:
The core of SCP are people who run startups, co-create them, or work in them on a daily basis - regardless of the product development phase, market presence, or funding rounds obtained. They are here for knowledge, networking, and access to competencies, but also to share experience from the real battlefield: how to build, scale, pivot, and not burn out along the way.
These are people with an idea, business intuition, or awareness of a problem they want to solve. Sometimes they lack courage, sometimes knowledge, sometimes contacts or mentoring support - so they look here for first steps, partners, inspiration, and direction. There are also students from Poznań universities who want to enter the startup world and see what it looks like from the inside.
These are private individuals or representatives of funds who want to invest in technologies, innovative products, and business models with potential impact and scaling. They bring not only capital to the community but also know-how, contacts, and experience from hundreds of analyzed projects.
This is a broad group of consultants, mentors, business advisors, specialists in areas such as law, finance, sales, or marketing; representatives of organizations supporting innovation, NGOs, and the academic environment. Sounds like a quite diverse group - and that’s the point. It is thanks to this mix of experiences, goals, and perspectives that an environment is created that can really generate value.
You don’t have to go to Berlin, London, or San Francisco to build big things. Poznań can also be a place where global products and fast-growing companies emerge. We want to provide space for local startups and businesses that create value — from SaaS products, through hardware and AI, to service companies and deeptech.
