- The Founder’s story about achieving everything and ending up depressed
- Why do we end up miserable when we live in a world that has never been richer?
- What will truly make us happy, fulfilled, and at peace? Let’s discover it together (finally!).
Aleksandra Łoś - Angel Investor @Soundoshi | Co-Founder & CEO @TrueMe | Senior Solutions Consultant @Espeo Software
Aleksandra is a serial Founder and Angel Investor working at the intersection of technology, human behavior, and emotional regulation. She is also a certified Kundalini yoga teacher and empowerment coach, with a long-standing focus on communication as a core leadership skill in high-pressure environments. Currently, she is developing protocols for AI agents designed to interact with humans in emotionally intelligent and psychologically safe ways.
She’s going to run a session: “The Most Underrated Startup Moat: Self-Regulation”, where she’ll cover (in practice):
- Your startup’s growth is structurally limited by the capacity of your nervous system.
- How does stress quietly change your decisions, risk-taking, and leadership style?
- A simple self-regulation framework you can use immediately.
Save your seat and let’s meet on February 12 in the eNStudios space (Głogowska 216)!
