Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMariusz Pietrzyk is a seasoned software leader and entrepreneur with 17 years of experience building product-focused web applications and a track record of founding and scaling a transparent, self-managed software company, Ragnarson. As COO and former CTO/co-founder of Shelly Cloud, he combines hands-on Ruby/Rails engineering with product and hosting expertise, having shipped MVPs, rewritten legacy systems, and run a Heroku-like hosting platform in Poland. He now invests through Ragnarson Fund, advising and funding AgTech startups that tackle climate and food-system challenges by combining capital, software, and domain guidance. A proponent of radical transparency and employee autonomy, he runs a fully remote-first company where colleagues set salaries and manage OKRs, reflecting his belief that people can self-organize without traditional bosses. Educated with a Master’s in Computer Science, he learned entrepreneurship early by growing Shelly Cloud to 100+ paying customers and later applied those lessons to build a decade-long software house serving dozens of startups. Less obvious: his career weaves deep technical craftsmanship with organizational design experiments, making him equally fluent in code, cloud operations, and building unconventional company cultures.
