Investment Thesis

The author expresses a long-term, technology-first investment worldview: he believes technological advances — especially AI — are the primary engine for step-function improvements in societal productivity and GDP, but that those gains must be steered to avoid widening inequality. He emphasizes a “bird’s-eye view” approach that blends macro/regulatory awareness (antitrust effects on exits), ecosystem & network effects (the PayPal-style founder networks), and founder/operator qualities (A-player teams, intrinsic motivation, rapid learners). The result is a patient, systems-oriented thesis that favors building durable, networked products and teams that can capture outsized long-term value while being mindful of societal impact.

Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Maciek Romanowicz is most relevant for founders raising venture-backed rounds in AI/ML, Traveltech, Climate/Cleantech, and Media Entertainment.

Focus statement

Interest centers on early-stage technology-driven opportunities — notably AI (multimodal / personal assistants / travel use cases), ecosystem- and network-enabled startups (including founders spun out of regional clusters such as Poland), climate-adjacent ideas that enable everyday Earth-friendly decisions, and founder/operator-led teams (including sports / team-building related ventures).

Value Add

Founder/operator perspective: the author is a former startup founder and operator, with an HBS background and practical experience building/iterating (mentions failing a startup and learning from it).
Macro + regulatory sensitivity: explicit attention to antitrust rulings and how blocked M&A activity changes VC exit dynamics and investment criteria.
Ecosystem / network orientation: places high weight on network effects and founder networks (references the "PayPal Mafia" and a desire for a Polish equivalent).
Human-centered / societal lens: balances tech optimism with concern about inequality and the need for government/constituent action to distribute AI gains.
Cross-domain empathy: blends interests in sports, travel, climate, and tech — suggesting an ability to evaluate opportunities at the intersection of lifestyle, consumer behavior, and AI.
