Warsaw Startups to Watch in 2027: Verified Companies in Warehouse AI, Beauty Tech, E-commerce, Customer Feedback and Employee Wellbeing
Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is the country's biggest business city and home to many of its best-known tech companies. The 2026 version of this article listed ten "proven" Warsaw startups, but it leaned on StartupBlink and Tracxn lists, quoted figures with no source, and included companies that are not based in Warsaw at all. For this 2027 edition we checked every company again in November 2026 on its own website: its contact page or legal notice (Polish companies must give their registered office and court register number), what it sells today and what it says about itself. Four old names passed the check, six did not, and we added four Warsaw companies whose official pages confirm a Warsaw address. We give no rankings and no funding totals that a company does not publish itself.
Quick answer: the Warsaw startups to watch in 2027 are Nomagic (AI robots for warehouses, $44 million raised in 2025), Booksy (booking app for beauty businesses, 44+ million users), Displate (metal poster marketplace), Packhelp (custom packaging platform), Survicate (customer feedback surveys), Mindgram (employee mental health support), deepsense.ai (applied AI) and Livespace (B2B CRM). Infermedica, Docplanner, Brainly, Billon, Nethone and GO TO-U were removed: they are based elsewhere, were acquired, or could not be confirmed. Founders get free advice at the city's Smolna Entrepreneurship Centre and incubation at the Warsaw University of Technology.

Why Warsaw Matters for Founders in 2027
Warsaw's startups show three strengths. The first is engineering talent: Nomagic says its team includes Google veterans and academics, and deepsense.ai's leadership comes from Warsaw University of Technology. The second is building for the whole world from day one: Booksy runs a US company from Chicago, Displate has a second headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, and Nomagic sells to Zalando, ASOS and Arvato. The third is B2B software for European companies: Survicate, Livespace and Mindgram all sell to teams inside other businesses. For first-time founders the easiest way in is a free city programme or a university incubator, both described below.

The Warsaw Startups to Watch in 2027
1. Nomagic: AI robots for the world's busiest warehouses
Nomagic builds what it calls Physical AI for warehouses: robotic arms guided by its own AI that pick, pack, sort and check orders, including a Shoebox Picker for two-piece shoe boxes, which won a 2026 IFOY award according to its news page. Its case studies name Zalando, ASOS, Arvato, Fiege, Komplett and Brack.Alltron, and the timeline on its about page records a $44 million investment in 2025. Its contact page lists Nomagic sp. z o.o. at Rakowiecka 36 in Warsaw as its European headquarters, with a North American headquarters in Roswell, Georgia, and offices in Berlin and Lucerne. Its news releases are datelined Warsaw and name Kacper Nowicki as CEO.
Lesson for founders: Nomagic picked one painful, repetitive job, picking and packing, and made robots do it reliably. A narrow problem that customers measure every day is easier to sell than general-purpose AI.
2. Booksy: the booking app for beauty businesses
Booksy is a booking platform for beauty and wellness services: salons, barbers, nail and brow studios use it for online booking, payments, marketing and an AI receptionist, and customers use its marketplace to find and book them. Its about page says it has more than 44 million users and more than 750 employees. Its Polish terms of service name Booksy International sp. z o.o. at ul. Prosta 67 in Warsaw, registered in the Warsaw court register; its US terms name Booksy Inc. in Chicago.
Lesson for founders: Booksy serves both sides of a market: software for the business and bookings from new customers. When your tool also brings in revenue, small businesses stay.

3. Displate: metal posters for fans
Displate runs an online marketplace for collectible metal wall art, with designs by independent artists and official licences such as Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Bethesda, NASA and The Witcher. Its site says it was founded in 2013, has headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, and Warsaw, and its about page mentions more than 50 countries. The company behind it is GWD Concept Sp. z o.o., with its registered office in Warsaw.
Lesson for founders: Displate turned a simple product into a collectible by working with fandoms. Licences and artists gave it a catalogue that a copycat cannot easily rebuild.
4. Packhelp: custom packaging without a factory
Packhelp lets brands design and order custom printed boxes, mailers and other packaging online. Its site now offers more than ordering: design help, sourcing, storage, flexible payment, integrations, white-label packaging stores and a packaging API for platforms. Its imprint names Packhelp SA at Kolejowa 5/7 in Warsaw.
Lesson for founders: Packhelp made a slow, offline purchase (custom packaging) as easy as ordering online. Many old B2B markets still wait for a simple self-service front end.

5. Survicate: customer feedback in one place
Survicate is a customer feedback platform: companies survey their customers across channels, then use its research hub and AI analysis to find themes in the answers. In 2026 its site promotes an MCP connection that lets Claude and ChatGPT read the feedback. Its contact page and privacy policy name Survicate S.A. with its registered office at Zamiany 8 in Warsaw.
Lesson for founders: Survicate keeps adding the next step after collecting data: analysis, alerts and now AI assistants. Products that save customers time after the first task are easier to keep.
6. Mindgram: support for employees and their families
Mindgram sells employers a benefit that gives staff access to psychologists and other specialists, including lawyers and financial advisers, plus workshops and an app. Its homepage says it is trusted by 160 companies covering 1 million people, and shows logos such as Pfizer, Samsung, PwC, KPMG, Orange, Volvo and DHL. Its footer names Mindgram sp. z o.o. at ul. Wiktorska 17/2 in Warsaw.
Lesson for founders: Mindgram sells wellbeing to the buyer who pays for it, the employer, and shows them productivity data. In B2B health, the user and the buyer are often different people.
7. deepsense.ai: applied AI from Warsaw
deepsense.ai builds AI and machine learning solutions for companies, from strategy to systems running in production, and works with model, cloud and AI infrastructure providers. Its contact page says it has its headquarters in Warsaw and offices in other countries, serving clients in the US and Europe, from global brands to startups. Its about page notes that its technology leadership studied at Warsaw University of Technology.
Lesson for founders: deepsense.ai turned a deep local talent pool into an export business. A services company can be a strong base for later products.
8. Livespace: a CRM for B2B sales
Livespace is a CRM for B2B sales teams, with versions for photovoltaics installers, manufacturers, car dealers and marketing agencies, AI features and an implementation service. Its site says more than 1,300 companies trust it, and its contact page gives ul. Rejtana 17/38 in Warsaw.
Lesson for founders: Livespace adapted one CRM to specific industries instead of trying to beat global tools everywhere. A vertical version can win local customers that big vendors ignore.

What Changed Since the 2026 List
Only four of the ten old names passed our check. The other six were removed for these reasons:
- Infermedica: its contact page gives an address in Wrocław, not Warsaw.
- Docplanner: its own site names Amsterdam as its headquarters; Warsaw is one of its offices.
- Brainly: its official site blocked our check, and we could not confirm a Warsaw headquarters.
- Billon: its site still gives a Warsaw address, but shows no dated news newer than its 2021 copyright line, so we could not confirm recent activity.
- Nethone: nethone.com now leads to Mangopay, which offers Nethone as its own fraud prevention product.
- GO TO-U: its website did not load, and we could not confirm a Warsaw base.
- Numbers removed: the old "over 30 countries", "50 million patients", "$100+ million", "1 million customers", "50,000 companies" and "most promising cybersecurity startup" claims had no source, and the StartupBlink and Tracxn links are gone.
- Google for Startups Campus Warsaw: its old page now leads to the general Google for Startups site, so we no longer list it as a Warsaw space.
Which Warsaw Startup Should You Learn From?
- You build hardware or robotics: study Nomagic and its focus on one warehouse job.

How Founders Use Warsaw's Startup Scene
Most of these companies sell abroad: Booksy and Displate have US entities, and Nomagic has a North American headquarters. If you plan to raise money for that kind of growth, compare the funds in our guides to early-stage VCs in Europe and angel investors for early-stage startups in Europe, and look at the programmes in our lists of startup incubators in Europe and AI accelerators in Europe.
