Lech Kaniuk

I sold my first innovation at the age of 18. I sold my first company at 20. Since then, I built PizzaPortal (Glovo), (acquired by Delivery Hero), scaled iTaxi, and co-founded several companies including SunRoof. Across these ventures, I raised over €150 million in capital. The process was rarely smooth; I made mistakes and learned hard lessons about where money is actually lost and made. Today, I invest in early-stage startups and serve on advisory bodies like Sting in Stockholm, the Economical Council of Łódź Wojewodship and the program council of MBA for Startups at SGH in Warsaw. I write books and mentor founders, but I still build new projects. I do not believe you can advise founders effectively if you have stopped being one yourself. I write here about the reality of building companies in Europe. No theory. No motivational stuff. Just what I have learned from doing the work. If you are building something, let’s connect.
