Jak wejść do gry z gigantami z USA? Miał 27 lat i nie znał nikogo.| Mateusz Bodio

“I was 27 years old when I started building the fund.” What happens when, instead of following the beaten path and buying more real estate, you leave the safe world of local businesses and decide to challenge the biggest players in the global venture capital market? 📈Building a company and want to reclaim your time? See how we support leaders and take advantage of a free consultation: https://albrechtpartners.com/ =================================== Mateusz Bodio talks about the R+ VC project, which from the outside looks like a dynamic, international success in the world of tech and defense, but is actually a story about the hard lessons of building credibility, gaining the trust of wealthy investors, and uncompromisingly fighting for a seat at the global table. This is a conversation about managing $200 million in capital across three time zones simultaneously: a system that requires 100% transparency, co-investing with Silicon Valley legends like Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia, and how Polish behind-the-scenes relationships and a unique network can open the door to the world's most secure funds. In this conversation, you'll learn: why the traditional approach to investing in real estate is slowly giving way to global technology investments, how to build unique fund value when you can't compete in Western markets solely on capital size, how to effectively manage relationships within a multi-family office structure and reconcile the need for capital protection with the high risk of venture capital, how the perception of Poland has dramatically changed in the eyes of American investors and how to turn this into a business asset, how surrounding yourself with outstanding advisors and American generals builds immediate credibility in the defense and dual-use sectors, what the reality of running a fund and managing projects across three time zones simultaneously looks like. ================================= 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:19 Three Diplomas and First Businesses: Building Something from Nothing 00:03:53 A 17-Year-Old's First Success 00:04:56 Why Venture Capital?
