Startup Community Poznań Meetup #47: Beginnings of SCP community (EN)

Startup Community Poznań is back on April 15 with a meetup for founders, builders, and people growing companies who want to better communicate the value of their offer, build more structured organizations, and scale without constantly putting out fires. The special guest will be Leon Van Der Laan, and the entire event will be held in English. In the Stage part, Leon will join Przemek Siódmiak for a fireside chat to share their founder journeys and explain why selling transformation instead of just features or services is critical, and how the concept of value perception helps build a stronger competitive advantage. In the Garage part, participants will experience a live hot seat with 2–3 founders, where Leon will work on real businesses in real time, uncovering the true transformation they offer, identifying customer blockers, validating proof of value, and mapping the customer journey toward the desired outcome, all based on the value perception framework and supported by a practical value perception audit checklist that participants can use after the event. This meetup combines inspiration with hands-on insights and offers a rare opportunity to see how real business work happens live.
