For the episode of the Founder CEO, I spoke with Michal Borkowski, the visionary behind Brainly, a global education technology platform revolutionizing how students learn and collaborate.

Growing up in Poland in the aftermath of the Soviet Union’s collapse, Michal witnessed a nation in transition. This era of change was reflected in his high school, where students worked together in an extraordinary way to tackle challenges. Michal’s class embodied a collaborative spirit—students with strengths in physics helped others, while those adept in biology returned the favor before exams. This cooperative environment planted the seed for Brainly: What if this mutual support could transcend the classroom and exist online?

Michal reminisces, “No one knew everything, but everybody knew something.” This simple yet powerful idea later became the foundation of his business.
