Poland joined the European Space Agency in 2012, which accelerated the rise of the local NewSpace market. On the other hand, it is at the very beginning of its development, with only several space companies based in Poland, and can still be considered as a blue ocean. That, combined with great local engineers, creates a good atmosphere for the company&#8217;s growth. Polish engineers are top of their class, and what is more important they have an unlimited source of creativity and will of self-development. Doing space projects is cool by name, and participation in the space race is an inner-motivation for our team.            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"o-quote__author\">\n                                <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Founded in &#8211; 2016<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Founders &#8211; Krzysztof Pacan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Funding &#8211; PLN32,800,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Largest round &#8211; PLN13 926 303,05 for the Innovative hyperspectral Earth observation system\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investors &#8211; European Union, Silesian Voivodeship, The National Centre for Research and Development, Republic of Poland\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of employees &#8211; 36<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business model &#8211; B2B R&amp;D<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Symmetrical<\/h2>\n\n\n    <div class=\"b-image js-lightbox\">\n        <figure class=\"b-image__figure\">\n            <a\n                href=\"2021-06-24-09_27_06-Top-ten-Polish-startups-to-watch-out-for-in-2021-to-publish-24.06.docx-and-3-m-e1624519746653.png\"\n                class=\"js-lightbox__trigger\"\n                aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n                data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"no\"\n            >\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"94\" src=\"https:\/\/www.future-processing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-06-24-09_27_06-Top-ten-Polish-startups-to-watch-out-for-in-2021-to-publish-24.06.docx-and-3-m-e1624519746653.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Symmetrical Top ten Polish startups to watch out for in 2021\" \/>            <\/a>\n                    <\/figure>\n        <div\n    class=\"js-lightbox__dialog o-lightbox\"\n    role=\"dialog\"\n    aria-modal=\"true\"\n    aria-hidden=\"true\"\n    tabindex=\"-1\"\n>\n    <div class=\"o-lightbox__dialog\">\n        <div class=\"o-lightbox__content js-lightbox__content\" role=\"document\">\n            <button\n                class=\"o-button o-button--xs o-button--dark o-button--icon-right o-button--tertiary o-lightbox__close js-lightbox__close m-gradient-brand\"\n            >\n                Close picture                <svg class='o-icon o-icon--16 o-icon--timescircle '>\n            <use xlink:href='#icon-16_times-circle'><\/use>\n          <\/svg>            <\/button>\n                                            <figure class=\"o-lightbox__image is-active\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"94\" src=\"https:\/\/www.future-processing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-06-24-09_27_06-Top-ten-Polish-startups-to-watch-out-for-in-2021-to-publish-24.06.docx-and-3-m-e1624519746653.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Symmetrical Top ten Polish startups to watch out for in 2021\" \/>                                    <\/figure>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/symmetrical.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Symmetrical<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is an innovative platform that lets <strong>employees pay out a portion of their salary they\u2019ve already earned<\/strong>.
