What results look like

Real people. Tangible shifts. Offline breakthroughs that drove the next step.

Launching regional brand

LAUNCHING A REGIONAL BRAND IN UNDER 6 MONTHS

A young entrepreneur came to our seminar with a rough idea but local cosmetics line using sustainable ingredients. During the "From Concept to Customer" intensive, they clarified their brand identity, structured their product roadmap, and identified three untapped distribution channels. With our guidance on go-to-market strategy, validation and offline networking strategies, they secured two retail partnerships within eight hours. By month four, they had finalized packaging, built a micro-influencer strategy, and completed a successful soft launch. Today, the brand is stocked in five regional shops and is expanding toward the capital.

Restructuring team dynamics

RESTRUCTURING TEAM DYNAMICS IN A SCALING AGENCY

A creative agency founder was struggling with bottlenecks caused by unclear team roles and misaligned incentives. At our leadership operations bootcamp, they reflected internal team structures and rebuilt them around key workflows and measurable responsibilities. We facilitated live exercises to test feedback loops, daily huddle strategies, and quarterly goal-setting techniques. After applying our team clarity model, project delays were cut in half, staff and staff satisfaction rose significantly, reducing turnover for the first time in two years. The agency now runs on a rhythm that supports both creativity and performance.

Funding-ready startup pitch

FUNDING-READY STARTUP PITCH BUILT LIVE

A solo founder arrived at a weekend seminar with nothing but an idea scribbled in a notebook. By the end of the event, they had refined the core value proposition, validated assumptions through peer testing, and built a compelling pitch with financial projections. Our structured sessions included real-time feedback from invited angels, investors and operators. The clarity they gained unlocked new confidence — and within two months, the founder raised €100k in pre-seed funding. They credited the in-person format with accelerating their progress more than six months of online research and courses had.

Business relaunch after burnout

BUSINESS RELAUNCH AFTER BURNOUT

After exiting her first business and taking a year-long break, a founder joined our strategy development seminar looking to return — but without the overwhelm. Through guided journaling, peer mentoring, and role modeling, she uncovered which parts of her previous model were unsustainable and which she wanted to preserve. Our trainers helped her build a 1-person, lifestyle-friendly offer, including pricing and service scope tailored for her new levels and ambitions. Within a month, she launched a consulting microbrand and had her first two clients. She now runs a business that fits her life, not the other way around.

What we offer

Offline intensives for business owners who want clarity, not just content

Shaping market presence

SHAPING YOUR MARKET PRESENCE

Format: 15 days (10 hours total)
Price: €420 per person

If your product is great but people still don't get it — this seminar is for you. Together, define your unique offer, identify the right audience, and translate your value into messaging that lands. You'll leave with a custom market clarity blueprint on brand tone, and a refined offer ready to go live. We use offline feedback loops to test everything with real conversations, not assumptions.

Law, structure and business confidence

LAW, STRUCTURE AND BUSINESS CONFIDENCE

Format: 1 day (6 hours)
Price: €310 per person

Many founders delay legal clarity until it's too late — and it slows growth. This seminar covers the essentials: agreements, intellectual property, taxation logic, and structure types that suit your model. You'll get real-time feedback on your documents, ask questions to compliance advisors, and leave with a foundation that protects your business without overcomplicating it.

Tools that don't slow you down

TOOLS THAT DON'T SLOW YOU DOWN

Format: 1 day (7 hours)
Price: €340 per person

Systems should serve you, not distract you. This workshop explores lightweight, human-first tech stacks and analog workflows that boost clarity and team accountability. We help you map what's essential, cut out what's slowing you down, and show you how to maintain control without constant screen time. Ideal for offline-oriented teams or small setups avoiding tech bloat.

Questions you might be asking

Straightforward answers before you decide to join us

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ATTEND YOUR SEMINARS?

We welcome a broad mix: small business owners, solo founders, growing teams, and professionals at a crossroads. Some come with new ideas they want to shape; others arrive with stuck models that need rethinking. Whether you're just launching or refining a decade-old company, you'll find yourself in a room of engaged, action-ready participants. Diversity of background is our strength — but shared focus is what drives the sessions.

DO I NEED TO COMMIT TO A FULL PROGRAM?

No. Every seminar is a standalone experience — choose only what's relevant to your stage or interest. Some attendees join just once and get what they need. Others return a few months later when priorities evolve. There are no packages, contracts, or subscriptions. You move at your pace.

DO YOU OFFER ANYTHING ONLINE?

No — and that's intentional. Pochmak is built around the power of presence: being in a room, working face-to-face, testing ideas with real-time feedback. We believe breakthroughs happen faster when you're off your screen and in dialogue. That's why all our events are 100% offline and designed for physical participation only.

HOW LONG ARE YOUR SEMINARS?

Most of our seminars run from one to two full days, depending on the topic. Each session includes hands-on strategy work, structured guidance, and space for feedback. We prioritize depth over volume — you'll never sit through filler. The focus is on clarity and implementation, not theory or motivation speeches.

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

Registration is through our website. Once you choose a seminar, you'll receive all the practical details: location, what to bring, and how to prepare. Spaces are limited (max 12 per session), so early booking is recommended. If you're unsure which session fits best, we offer a short pre-call — no pressure, just clarity.

WHAT MAKES YOUR FORMAT DIFFERENT?

We don't run conferences or inspirational events. We run working rooms. You'll sketch strategies, test messaging, analyze offers, challenge blind spots — with expert input and structured group insight. The goal isn't to impress you — it's to move you forward. If you want depth, honesty, and zero fluff, this is your kind of room.

Ready for decisions that don't stall?

Some shifts happen only when you step into the room. If you're done guessing and want strategic clarity built in real time — let's connect. Tell us where you stand now, and we'll help you figure out what comes next.
