How This Polish Entrepreneur Raised €7M and Sold Her Startup in 3 Years
Jun 9, 2026
How do you go from dealing cards on a cruise ship to negotiating a massive multi-million dollar acquisition with the #1 sports betting brand in America?
In this exclusive interview, we sit down with investor, founder, and author Karolina Pelc to discuss her incredible career journey and her brand-new debut book, "Her Play: Make Your Own Luck."
Karolina pulls back the curtain on the messy, unfiltered reality of high-stakes entrepreneurship. We unpack how she scaled her tech startup, BeyondPlay, raised over €7M in venture capital, and successfully orchestrated a rapid exit to FanDuel, all while navigating a heavily male-dominated industry.
If you are a founder, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone trying to map out an ambitious career without a textbook, this conversation is your blueprint.
