Minerva's announcements in full, each with a PDF to download. Newest first.
Minerva CEO Wiktor Gaweł told Onet Rano how he built an AI company used by bid teams across industries in under two years. The conversation also covered the scale of EU public procurement, worth over EUR 2 trillion a year.
Wiktor Gaweł and Piotr Gerke were named to the tenth edition of the Forbes Poland “30 Under 30” list. According to Forbes, close to 500 companies used Minerva after its first year, and the platform reads complete tender files that can reach 16,000 documents.
Minerva's CEO explains how the EU public procurement market, worth around EUR 2 trillion a year, works and why 700,000 tender sources across Europe make a full overview hard even for large companies. Around half of EU tenders end with one bid or none, which favours well-prepared bid teams.
Companies using Minerva have won 1,342 tenders with a total value above PLN 1 billion. The platform cuts the first review of tender documents from hours to seconds, helping bid teams decide faster, including in the PLN 330 billion public construction market.
Finnish fund Open Ocean VC, an investor in Booksy, invested USD 3 million in Minerva to develop its AI platform for tender analysis. In its first six months, companies using Minerva won 383 tenders worth over PLN 250 million.
