In this episode, Wiktor Stanislawek, Co-founder and CEO of Reactive AI, tells Daniel Dippold why European VCs called his pitch deck a red flag for naming OpenAI as a competitor, and why the angels he met in San Francisco called it ambition.
Wiktor's team are young founders from Poland who had never worked at an AI lab. YC passed on them twice. EWOR said yes after a one-minute demo: Reactive AI's token count stayed flat as other LLMs kept climbing. When Wiktor approached an OpenAI researcher to join the team, the researcher asked to invest, and the deal closed within 24 hours. The founder of Snowflake and a 5x unicorn founder followed. Now, Wiktor is challenging Silicon Valley's frontier labs from Poland with Reactive AI’s Large Awareness Models.
