Where the right people find each other.

Gates Open — 17:00
Every entrepreneur is sending a signal: looking for a co-founder, a customer, an investor, a mentor, a breakthrough idea, or the next opportunity.
Summer Jam: Signal brings together the founders, technologists, creatives, investors, and community builders shaping the future of Krakow and beyond.
Each person arrives with their own signal. Together, we create a collective signal that showcases the strength, ambition, and creativity of our ecosystem.
Because the best opportunities rarely arrive through a form, an email, or a cold message. They arrive through people.
Curious about the signals from other attendees?
Check out Signal, our MVP matchmaking tool, to discover what other Summer Jam attendees are looking for, find the right people and start connecting before the event.
