Fighting Paperwork with AI – The Story of Startup mika
What does it take to found a tech startup as a woman in Germany – and to keep going even when things get tough?
That’s exactly what Agnieszka M. Walorska, founder and CEO of mika, will talk about at the next Role Models Abend by SIE gründet. Originally from Poland and now based in Berlin for many years, Agnieszka developed mika, an AI-powered accounting platform that frees founders from paperwork, tax stress, and bureaucracy.
Her goal: to relieve small and medium-sized businesses so they can focus on what really matters – their business.
But the road to success was far from easy: When her co-founder quit, she faced a difficult choice – to give up or continue on her own. With no money but unwavering conviction, she chose to move forward. Today, she has secured over €1.2 million in investment and leads a successfully growing tech company.
