CCT are practitioners. They have been involved in several companies and M&A processes. They understand how to make decisions from idea to exit!
Piotrek & Tomek are outstanding early-stage startup investors and advisors. They know how to push founders through the difficulties they will encounter early on but also help them focus on the right things at the right time, which is priceless.
Collaboration with Tomek gave us a new perspective on the company. His direct and accurate advice helped us improve customer segmentation and more accurately forecast results. The ability to draw on his experience and gather feedback on our plans was invaluable to us. Thanks to Tomek, we expanded our vision several steps ahead.
Thank you for your support in the succession process at itCraft and the spin-off of the BeeSpeaker startup. Your openness and directness were invaluable to us. You pointed out the key aspects of this process and shared your rich experience. The greatest value for me was that we were talking to someone who had gone through this process and seen how it works in different companies.
Piotr and Tom go beyond the roles of mere investors and advisors for us. They are more like close friends who share the happiest and most frustrating moments with us on our journey as founders. CT's vision, experience, and endless motivation helped us rethink our product and making it enterprise-ready. This was precisely the catalyst we required to shift from an open-core approach to a commercially viable model.
As the first -time founder I did not have experience in investor negotiations. Piotr and Tomasz turned down my conditions of collaboration because they thought they were not beneficial for me. They put forward their own conditions which have strengthened my position. They are not only competent investors but first and foremost good people.
Catch the Tornado is a “Wikipedia of knowledge and experience necessary for a founder”, backed by a great commitment with a touch of a sense of humor.
