## Resource

▶︎ #188 | From Renting Lambos for Crypto to Deterministic AI Agents: Self-Worth, Startups, and Finding the Right Co-Founder w/ Aleksandra Łoś (Founder @Relayn) In this episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast, Alex sits down with Aleksandra Łoś. Her path runs from management consulting in Paris and London, through a string of ventures (a sports-matching app, a startup renting luxury assets for cryptocurrency, rebuilding the original Bitcoin whitepaper for the Bitcoin Association, and TrueMe, an attempt to merge AI with personal development) to her current company, Relayn, where she and her Co-founder are building AI agents on a deterministic, non-LLM-first architecture designed to cut compute costs dramatically. What makes this conversation stand out is Aleksandra’s honesty about the belief that quietly drove her for years: that landing the "right" job at the right company would finally prove she was good enough. Alex and Aleksandra also dig into the mindset shift from corporate to startup life, why intuition and self-trust matter more than gathering endless data when decisions move fast, and what actually predicts whether a Co-founder relationship will work. Ola’s answer: try the person before you try the idea. If you are weighing a leap from IC to Founder, from corporate to startup, or you are searching for the right person to build with, this is part one of a conversation you will want to finish. ✉︎ FOLLOW ALEKSANDRA ON: ⤵︎ LinkedIn: @aleksandra-los-1423615b Relayn: https://www.relayn.sh/ ✉︎ FOLLOW ME ON: ⤵︎ LinkedIn: @aleksandralemanska TikTok: @aleksandra_lemanska X: @lemanskills Get the Book! https://fromcodetopeople.lemanskills.com/ Startup Community Poznan: @startup-community-poznan-scp www.lemanskills.com Join Leadership Pulse! https://lemanskills.com/puls…
