What Alergeek Ventures does

Alergeek Ventures sp. z o.o. is a Kraków, Poland-based boutique technical consulting firm founded in 2022 by Franciszek Madej (also Technical Lead at Scape.App, YC S24) together with co-founders Jakub Różycki and Stanisław Madej. The company operates an embedded-team model in which its engineers, DevOps specialists, and designers integrate directly into client startups — joining sprints, board meetings, and Slack channels — and execute alongside founders from MVP through scale. Engagement begins with a discovery call and a 1-2 week tailored plan, with team sizing adjusted flexibly to client needs; revenue is generated through professional-services fees on quote-based engagements.

The company's technical stack centers on full-stack web (React, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, Python) and cross-platform mobile (React Native) development, supported by AWS-based infrastructure, DevOps tooling (Docker, Terraform, Ansible), and a database layer spanning PostgreSQL (with pgvector for embeddings), Redis, ElasticSearch, Hasura, and Dagster. AI capabilities are layered on top of third-party foundation models — primarily Azure OpenAI for document processing, semantic search, and generative AI features, plus ElevenLabs for voice under a grant — and applied to client products including legal-tech document analysis (Legora), political intelligence (Kvantab), cultural intelligence (Hugo), logistics anti-fraud (Sarfion), wellness (INTU), trivia gaming (Quikś), and sports coaching (youvsyou). Alergeek has also productized Firmowid, an internal operations tool for invoice-transaction matching, time tracking, and Polish KSeF e-invoice compliance, and offers it commercially.

The firm's client base consists predominantly of early-stage European startups (with notable Y-Combinator exposure) across multiple verticals, supported by institutional memberships in the Swedish-Polish Chamber of Commerce and the PZPN Innovation Hub Disruptors Club. Strategic technology partnerships with ElevenLabs and Solvro extend its capability set. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, 9-12 team members, and no publicly listed revenue or ARR figures.

Core offering

Alergeek Ventures provides embedded technical consulting for early-stage software startups, supplying senior full-stack engineers, DevOps specialists, and designers who join client teams directly.

Product overview

Alergeek Ventures is a boutique technical consulting firm — not a single-product company. Its offering is a services-led partnership model where embedded engineers and consultants ship digital products for early-stage startups, ranging from MVPs to full-scale platforms. The portfolio spans AI document intelligence (Legora, Kvantab), anti-fraud/identity verification (Sarfion), mobile wellness (INTU), mobile gaming (Quikś), football coaching technology (youvsyou), and cultural AI (Hugo). Additionally, Alergeek built and operates Firmowid — an internal operations tool (invoice matching, time tracking, KSeF compliance) now offered commercially. The core differentiator is the plug-and-play consulting model embedded directly into startup teams, rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture.
