Get to know us

Universality is a Polish startup founded in 2017.

We create the Universality.io platform that connects the academic environment with the business environment.

Extensive experiences

Universality is made up of people who combine running IT companies with work at the university

The idea itself was born in 2014, when Jerzy Czepiel, conducting classes at the Jagiellonian University, founded his first IT company. He then invented a tool that would connect employers, educate academics and students in one ecosystem, increasing the level of education and supporting practical preparation of students for work.

Since then, a lot of people have worked on the project, both from academia and the company, including CEOs and board members of companies such as Edge 1 solutions, EduLab, Intive and Euvic.

Beginning of the journey

this is just the beginning of our journey 🙂  

Getting started

Stages of development

We received the first larger financing in 2017 from the Edulab fund, which invested 800.000 PLN in us. PLN. It allowed us to create an MVP and interest the first users at universities.

In February 2019, we received an investment from Leonarto Alfa for product completion and greater development. We managed to fine-tune our business models, increase the number of users, and collect lots of valuable feedback from faculty, students and companies.

Growth

Currently

We are currently working with PAIH on a pilot program in India as part of Polish Technological Bridges and we are trying to help young students find a job despite the pandemic 😉

We are also working on new functionalities that will appear this summer !

Website functioning

Daniel Czernomysy

A graduate of computer science at the Jagiellonian University. Programming enthusiast. For the last four years, a senior programmer at SmartShack. In Universality, the backend supports the frontend (with reciprocity).
If you think that a typical computer scientist is a closed introvert who doesn’t say much, you don’t know Daniel! And there is a lot to talk about – apart from programming, he loves cycling.

You risk nothing and you can gain a lot. The platform was created on the basis of the experience of conducting classes at the Jagiellonian University and is designed to facilitate and shorten, not to add to work!
