Are there any good startups in Poland, honestly? I have yet to see one that wasn't either a groupon clone, or some hipster web3.0 social-pierdoling. I know this is mostly off-topic, but you seem to be in the know.

I like your approach. I think HE is a perfect for your perspective-sharing idea:
"That’s the reason why I’m so open and eager to share my Polish perspective. It’ll be a pleasure for me to get to know what internet looks like in your country."
My girlfriend is Polish and I have spent quite some time in Warszawa but I don't know about the Tech scene besides that there are many brilliant and technical engineers. The biggest problem I see is the creativity-killing school system. Children don't learn to think creatively and independently, at least based on the limited information I have. What is your take on that?
Also I'd be happy to discuss the situation in Germany and London.
I agree with you, that school system in Poland is killing creativity, but I can't say that it's the biggest problem here. In my opinion more important is size of Poland (it isn't a small country; you can make a profitable online business without going global) and our past - complexes and lack of entrepreneurship culture.
