Co Founder
Open Coffee Krakow
I helped Marta Ryłko and Aliaksei Kulbei get this off the ground, have attended co-hosted 90% of the meetings and wrote the FAQ. Open Coffee Krakow www.ockrk.co meetings are held every second Thursday at 8:00 on Krakow's Rynek Główny in the Google For Entrepreneurs space. Despite the early start between 30-70 people usually attend. An online event tool enables you to network with other attendees before and after the meetings. If you are late: it is standing room only. The events work really well and are being copied by other cities in Poland like Wrocław and Katowice. if you are visiting Krakow, time your visit so you can attend and see for yourself.

Cracow City Leader
First Tuesday
Attempted to establish the local chapter of the global First Tuesday movement at the end of the first dotcom.com. Expensive lessons learned as the organization fell apart at the center inc an allergy to fund raising and looking for sponsors, and an entertaining meeting where a would be sponsors informed us they expected to be paid to show up. TED TEDxKrakow and Hive are doing things much better than I did
