Podim is not a mix of everything

• startups selected from 20+ CEE countries
• curated, not crowded
• region-specific insights, connections, and opportunitie
No panels. Just real operator insights.
How founders scaled from 0 → millions of users
→ channels, experiments, mistakes, wins
20-minute deep dives + live Q&A
→ ask what you actually want to know
Tactical lessons you can apply immediately
→ not theory, not inspiration — execution
