Strasznie dumna jestem z moich mentees – serio. W przytłaczającej większości przypadków robią takie postępy, że zaczynam się zastanawiać, czy sama sobie nie podcinam gałęzi, na której siedzę 😂 Ale zupełnie serio: Z Wojtek Skalski pracowałam nad jego warsztatem na MIT Global Startup Workshop (MIT GSW). 90 minut totalnego mięsa musieliśmy ubrać w ciekawe historie i wciągające haczyki. Po opiniach uczestników warsztatu nie mam najmniejszej wątpliwości, że mu się udało! 🔥🔥🔥 Poza tym Wojtek był tak miły, że napisał podsumowanie naszej współpracy (mój ulubiony fragment na grafice 🫡): „Przygotowywałem się z Kamą do mojego wystąpienia na konferencji. Współpraca wystartowała błyskawicznie – wystarczyło wypełnić krótki formularz i ustalić terminy spotkań. Na start dostałem solidny wstęp teoretyczny – przydatny, żeby poukładać sobie w głowie, jak myśleć o prezentacji i na co zwracać uwagę, ale bez przynudzania. Potem przeszliśmy do pracy nad samym wystąpieniem. Zarysowałem, co chcę powiedzieć, a Kama od razu przerabiała to na wciągającą narrację – wskazując, co skrócić, co rozwinąć i w jakiej kolejności wszystko ułożyć. Odpowiedziała na dziesiątki moich pytań. Dzięki jej pomocy wiedziałem, że jestem dobrze przygotowany i czułem się pewnie na scenie. Misja zakończyła się sukcesem – słuchacze byli zaangażowani przez całe 90 min (!) i propsowali wystąpienie. Polecam – Kama to taki copilot od wystąpień publicznych, tylko z większym poczuciem humoru i bez halucynacji. Jeśli przygotowujesz się na TEDx albo inny Web Summit to od razu do niej uderzaj.” Aaaawwwww 🥹 PS. Infoshare | Shape Tomorrow Today / Carpathian Startup Fest – bierzcie Wojtka, póki ma jeszcze wolne terminy, bo to, co przygotował o budowaniu wzrostu w startupach, jest warte grzechu!

March was pretty awesome for Polonium Foundation. Our CEO, a powerhouse named Ala Santos, PhD, swooped down to Poland and took the Board for much needed introductions - we visited a key events and stakeholders in Warsaw. ⚡️Started our tournee with electric industry event MIT Global Startup Workshop (MIT GSW) where Ala represented Polonium and talked about power of networking and diasporas, 🌎scheduled a visit at Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland to discuss about the future of Polish scientific diaspora, its needs and our mission, 🖼️we had a pleasure to attend the art exhibition organised by Polpharma Biologics (science&art, yay!) On top of that, we welcomed new volunteers to the team and met new and old friends along the way. To all of you, #KeepCalmAndCurieOn

Two weeks ago, I was able to complete a major goal on my MIT bucket list-- further my involvement in the startup ecosystem at a major scale. This endeavour took me to Warsaw, Poland, where I served as the Design Lead on the Marketing Team for the MIT Global Startup Workshop (MIT GSW). I had the incredible opportunity to co-create a global experience that brought nearly 1,500 innovators together in Warsaw to reimagine the future of entrepreneurship. Collaborating with a remarkable crew of 18 MIT student leaders was one of the most rewarding experiences of my year. The journey took dedication, imagination, and collective trust—I'm so proud of the energy and intention we poured into every detail. A huge shoutout to the StartSmart CEE team for being amazing thought partners and relentless doers. Your spirit and commitment made Warsaw feel like home and helped elevate this conference to something unforgettable. The effort, late nights, and Zoom calls were more than worth it—for this, for our people, for the vision, for the future of technology.
