TLDR

  • Polish startup Tequipy has been recognized as one of Europe's fastest-growing private tech companies, ranking 24th in the Scaling Europe 50 list.
  • Founded in 2023 by former Revolut employees Tomasz Stawarski and Bartosz Czerkies, Tequipy offers a platform for managing IT hardware throughout its lifecycle for international teams.
  • The company's services, available in over 180 countries, address the logistical challenges of equipping and maintaining IT equipment for globally distributed workforces.

Tequipy, a Krakow and London-based startup, has achieved a significant milestone by securing the 24th position in the prestigious Scaling Europe 50 ranking, recognizing it as one of the continent's fastest-growing private technology firms. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as Tequipy is the sole Polish entity featured in this year's list, showcasing an impressive growth rate of 565% between 2024 and 2025.

This is an important moment for us, but also confirmation that we are solving a real problem for rapidly growing companies.

The company, founded in 2023 by Tomasz Stawarski and Bartosz Czerkies, both alumni of prominent Polish universities and former employees of Revolut, addresses a critical pain point for modern businesses: the seamless management of IT hardware for globally distributed teams. Their innovative platform provides a comprehensive solution, encompassing procurement, configuration, delivery, tracking, servicing, retrieval, storage, and even resale of IT equipment across more than 180 countries.

Stawarski highlighted that the idea for Tequipy stemmed directly from their own experiences grappling with IT logistics while scaling international teams at Revolut. This firsthand understanding of the problem allows Tequipy to offer a solution that tackles the "chaos" of IT management, transforming it into a simple and predictable process. The platform is designed to equip employees with necessary hardware from day one, ensuring local procurement, configuration, and delivery, while also managing the lifecycle of the equipment.

When an organization starts hiring people in many countries, IT equipment very quickly stops being a one-off operation. A laptop for a new person, retrieving a device from an departing employee, local keyboard layout, service, storage โ€“ each of these things looks insignificant on its own, but together they can overwhelm and block the IT team.

This recognition is not just a testament to Tequipy's rapid growth but also a validation of its business model, which effectively solves a real-world problem for rapidly expanding companies. The ability to manage IT assets across borders is crucial for businesses operating in today's globalized economy, and Tequipy's success underscores the demand for such specialized logistical solutions.

Tequipy was created to take this chaos off companies' shoulders and turn it into a simple, predictable process.
