The Pitch, January 21st: What you need to know this week

The Pitch

This week #OMGKRK wants to bring your attention to the rapidly growing podcast Piotr Bucki – Biznes w IT. In a short time, this podcast has established itself as an authority on entrepreneurship in the field of technology. In the 19th episode, host Piotr Bucki (Co-Founder of j-labs) invites Piotr Wilam (CEO of Krakow VC Innovation Nest) for a conversation about investment in startups from the investor perspective. The conversation covers many topics in detail and is essential listening for tech entrepreneurs. The podcast is in Polish only but you can catch some of Piotr Bucki’s knowledge in English when we recorded his talk on how he built j-labs at an #OMGKRK Academy.

This year #OMGKRK is re-doubling on its mission to inspire and educate entrepreneurs at a higher level with more opportunities of greater substance to truly help startups grow and achieve growth like, for example, CallPage, which Piotr William and Innovation Nest invested in.

Importantly, all the companies named above, j-labs, Innovation Nest and CallPage are #OMGKRK Members which will allow #OMGKRK to better leverage these organizations to help the community. If you want to support our mission, we encourage our readers to review our recently updated Membership offer (that now includes #OMGKRK Jobs) and sign up.

On a separate note, for everyone interested in receiving government financing for tech events in 2019, the deadline to apply for Małopolska funds is fast approaching. If you do not have an NGO with which to apply, send #OMGKRK a message and we will try to help.

Have a great week!
