Video4 learnings for founders
TL;DR From a table of women founders in Warsaw: solve your own problem, stay resilient, enjoy the steep learning curve, and let family inspire you.
One morning, one table, a lot of women building real things. At the Female Founders Breakfast in Warsaw I sat between a granola brand for kids, an AI app for women's hormonal health and a company building houses from hemp and wood. I left with four lessons scribbled on a napkin.
The common thread: every strong company at that table started with a problem the founder had herself. Nobody was chasing a trend.
- Solve your own problem first
- Be resilient and versatile: look for the opportunity in a bad situation
- Enjoy the steep learning curve
- Let your family inspire you

Bonus from the psychologist at the table: founding a company shifts your identity. Plan for the uncertainty, not just the product.
