Business Analyst
About Us
The Heart is Poland's leading venture builder - a co-founder that builds companies together with founders, scientists, and experienced operators, from the first idea through growth and exit, with a strong focus on the commercialization of technology and science.
We operate at the intersection of four worlds: founders, academia, corporates, and capital - integrating them into one ecosystem where every new relationship compounds the value of every project we build. We work across three models: Accelerate (supporting founders with early traction in scaling and fundraising), Incubate (deep co-creation from idea to investment readiness), and Spin-off (full venture formation around scientific IP). We don't invest capital - we invest expertise, structure, and ecosystem access, staying with founders through every stage of building.

Values
Aim high
Ambition with discipline
We set bold goals and pursue them with discipline and intention. We combine strategic depth with decisive execution — thinking clearly, acting with pace, and staying committed to a long-term vision.
Own It
Responsibility and commitment.
We take responsibility for our work, commit to outcomes, and follow through. We act with ownership, deliver on our promises, and care deeply about the results we create.
Turn Complexity into Clarity
Clarity is our advantage.
Tangled problems become structured systems. Ambiguity turns into clear steps, and analysis into momentum — so ideas move smoothly from vision to execution.
Stand for honesty
Openness builds trust.
We believe transparent communication and respectful feedback create strong relationships and better decisions. We speak clearly, listen openly, and address challenges with honesty and care.
Build Together
Stronger through collaboration.
We collaborate openly, share knowledge, and co-create solutions that are stronger because they’re built collectively. We succeed through shared ownership — celebrating wins together and learning from setbacks as one team.
