Mentor, investor, and strategic advisor with over two decades of experience supporting leaders, startups, and young companies in business growth and bold decision-making. As Managing Partner at Tangent Line Ventures Capital, she combines investment expertise and corporate experience with a passion for innovative entrepreneurship. She began her career at Mars Polska, where over 17 years she gained deep knowledge of all key aspects of organizational management — from sales to marketing — developing a strong understanding of the role of communication, courage, and organizational culture in building strong brands and effective teams. After years of intensive corporate growth, she made a bold move: leaving the corporation to fully pursue her entrepreneurial ambitions and launch her own startups. This first-hand experience — facing risk, constraints, pace, and the excitement of building a business from scratch — showed her the crucial need for smart support for founders and the importance of scaling one’s own competencies. From this conviction emerged her investment activity and the creation of Tangent Line Ventures. Today, she turns her knowledge into tangible support for young entrepreneurs — both as an investor and as a mentor in programs such as InCredibles and EIT Food. She helps founders build business models, enter markets, develop teams, and secure funding. She teaches that modern entrepreneurship is not only about results or expansion, but also about responsibility and conscious social, environmental, and cultural impact. She is also passionate about shockvertising and unconventional forms of communication that break patterns and provoke reflection. Monika has a deep understanding of how young businesses can stand out and capture audience attention while maintaining a strategic balance between creativity and responsibility. She also serves on supervisory boards, supporting companies in building corporate governance, growth strategies, and long-term value. Combining the perspectives of investor, advisor, and practitioner, she takes a holistic view of organizational development. As a certified mentor and coach, she emphasizes authentic leadership, courage, and conscious personal brand building. She works with boards and founders, helping them align vision with execution, intuition with analysis, and ambition with responsibility. Monika believes that the best ideas emerge at the intersection of different worlds, and her mission is to support young leaders in boldly pushing boundaries and creating new opportunities.
