Talent Connect – Building Careers in Startups

Talent Connect – Building Careers in Startups is a meetup for people thinking about their next career step and curious about working in startups. It brings together Kraków-based startups and talent for real conversations, practical insights, and a behind-the-scenes look at how early-stage and scaling tech companies actually work.

The idea is to make it valuable for both sides: companies can showcase opportunities and meet potential candidates, while participants get an inside look at how it actually works in startups.

The goal is to create a space where speakers can share their experience or present their company, and participants can ask questions and build connections.
