Who am I

I don't sell theory.
I describe what I've tested.

Started in Krakow — corporate first (HSBC), then 8 years of startups (Revolut, Berlin fintechs). I ran hiring for my own teams: interviews, feedback and the decision whom to hire. I've also been through hiring and salary talks myself. What nobody told me back then, I write here every Friday.

It started as whatsupinstartup.com. Today I write as filip.gorgo; the newsletter is still called What’s Up in Startup. Every week I scan 200+ openings and write about getting into a startup — and not getting lost inside one.

Who this is for

For someone who wants to work in a startup —
or already does and is looking around.

✓You’re in a startup and looking around

Product, growth, ops, sales. You know how it works from the inside — and you know the next good role won’t come from LinkedIn. You want to see openings before everyone else does.

✓You want to get in

You're in a corporate or between things. Startups are on the radar, but you don't know where to start. Months of applications, zero callbacks. You'll get the knowledge to cut that short — without burning time on things that don't work.

Not for you if: you want a developer role, a corporate job, or a list of 50 links from a job portal. This is 5 non-IT startup roles and one piece. That’s it.

What's inside

Working in startups.
All lived through first.

One thread: how to get into a startup and how to grow there. No theory, no “top 10 AI tools” lists.

FAQ

Questions I get.

How often will I get an email? +
Once a week. Friday or Saturday morning. ~450 words — you'll read it in 3–5 minutes. No spam. Ever.
Can I unsubscribe? +
Yes. One click in every email. No explanation needed. No "why are you leaving" surveys. You just leave.
Do you sell anything in the newsletter? +
The newsletter is free and will stay free. I have one paid service for job seekers (SCAN, a list of roles for your profile) and I mention it sometimes, usually in one line in the P.S. Companies can pay to feature their role; a featured role is always marked “Featured”. The text of an issue is never an ad.
Who are you? +
Filip Gorgolewski. Started at HSBC (corporate finance), then 8 years in European startups — Revolut and Berlin fintechs (re:cap). Started in Krakow, now Berlin. I write about what I've seen from the inside. Not theory. Not commentary from the sidelines.
