5 Polish startups to look out for in 2015

At the beginning of this year, we took a look at the largest European countries and tried to come up with a list of 5 startups for each country to watch out for in 2015. In the case of Poland, it has been very hard to narrow this list down, but we’ve decided to go with just 5 promising Polish startups from different sectors. All of them entered the market within the last two years and each of the listed startups has something special to add to the web and app economy in 2015.

Elimi-logo1. Elimi: This Sopot-based startup that aims to “put the fun back into dating”. Their mobile app, which launched in 2014, goes back to the roots of flirting, where girls are tempting guys with fun and interesting tasks, while guys are competing and fighting for the girls by showing off their creativeness. Elimi says “no” to long-winded profiles, to browsing through countless fake photos, to computer “matching algorithms”. Elimi just wants you to play and have fun. So far Elimi has raised $135K in seed funding.

Kontakt.io: Founded in 2013, Kontakt.io is a solution to help the visually impaired navigate public spaces more easily, as well as experience cultural wonders to the same depth as anyone else.

Kontakt.io secured a total of $2.25 million in funding to date, including a $2 million investment by Sunstone Capital in July of 2014.

By the end of 2013, Audiotrip received $250K in seed funding (Update – May 2023: The startup seems to be no longer in business under this website, and we therefore deactivated the original link).
