About
One operator, one engine, one dog.
Roti Ventures is the venture studio of Aleksander (Olek) Uznański, a product leader who has spent a decade turning conviction into evidence for other people’s companies — and decided to own some of the results.
The operator
Olek
Product leader and advisor. Has built products in fintech, HR, data and design; trained several hundred startups and product teams in discovery and product-market fit through ProductTrio; teaches founders at StartSmart CEE, Mazovian StartUPolis and the Warsaw University of Technology Business School; speaks regularly on product discovery.
Roti is the answer to a question that kept coming up in workshops: if the method works this well for clients, why not run it on our own bets?
The engine
ProductTrio
Product discovery workshops, PMF programmes and fractional product leadership. ProductTrio is a separate brand that Roti owns — and the engine that funds everything Roti builds.
ProductTrio keeps its own brand, clients and team. Roti is the studio behind it: the place where the same discovery discipline is applied to companies we own rather than advise.
The name
Roti
Roti is our dog, a labradoodle, named after the flatbread during the time we worked remotely from Asia — daily bread, made by hand, every day, which turned out to be a fair description of how niche businesses get built too.
The letters also spell the method (Research, Opportunities, Testing, Iteration) and the rule we invest by (Return On Time Invested). We did not plan that. We are keeping it.
