Minerva is a Poznań-based B2B SaaS startup that uses AI to automate and streamline public procurement, helping businesses identify, analyze, and bid on public tenders up to 9x faster while reducing 90% of administrative workload. The platform aggregates data from over 1,000 sources, analyzes ~5,000 tenders daily, and has already helped its 350+ clients win contracts worth over PLN 250 million. Founded in 2023 by Wiktor Gaweł, Piotr Gerke, and Maciej Stoiński, Minerva raised a $3M seed round in October 2025 from Helsinki-based OpenOcean VC, valuing the company at approximately PLN 100 million. The startup targets the EU public procurement market — worth 20% of EU GDP — and aims to grow the number of active tender participants from 3.5 million to 15 million across Europe, with an ambitious goal of reaching unicorn status by 2028.
