Bartosz Arendt is a founder and product-focused engineering leader with 11+ years building web products and platforms that scaled to millions of users and tens of millions of downloads. He created Cookie Notice — a lightweight, widely adopted WordPress consent plugin that became the foundation for a commercial SaaS (Cookie Compliance) after acquisition, and went on to lead product and technology there. Since January 2026 he’s focused on AI-native software: agentic systems, knowledge workflows, provenance, privacy, and practical RAG patterns that bake AI into system architecture rather than treating it as a thin feature. Bartosz combines open-source distribution instincts with SaaS commercialization experience, favoring high-leverage products that let small teams deliver outsized impact. He’s equally comfortable designing for auditability, control, and real-world execution as he is shipping lightweight, user-centric tools — a perspective informed by an earlier career in creative photography and culture studies. Open to conversations with founders, investors, and partners building ambitious, privacy- and trust-centered AI systems.
