Zbigniew Barwicz's Summary

I am a serial entrepreneur, angel investor, and Partner at a VC firm I co-founded in late 2020, with over 20 years of leadership in the technology sector. My passion lies at the intersection of cleantech and purpose-driven innovation, where I leverage technology to create positive societal impact. Throughout my dynamic career, I’ve worn many hats — as a Co-founder, CEO, private angel investor, and VC advisor — consistently driving growth from the ground up. I've launched four successful startups, meticulously shaping products, building diverse teams, and raising $1M to $200M in multiple funding rounds. With a strategic approach to scaling businesses, I've led three cross-border exits via mergers, acquisitions, and management buyouts, each valued in the 9-figure range with Fortune 500 companies. In recognition of my contributions, I was nominated Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year (Canada, 2009), and I’ve been an active member of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) since 2013, committed to peer learning and leadership growth. Today, as a VC Partner, I continue to invest in and mentor startups, with a focus on leveraging cutting-edge technology to drive lasting, meaningful change.
