Paul Bragiel is a three-time founder who created multiple specialized venture funds across different regions and sectors, including Golden Gate Ventures in Southeast Asia, Presence Capital for VR/AR, and funds in Africa and gaming, rather than operating from a single established hub. He co-founded one of the first dedicated VR/AR seed funds in 2015 when few investors were willing to create specialized vehicles around the sector, and has been involved with multiple companies that eventually became unicorns.

• Deep active involvement in international sports management beyond just being a fan. He acts as a coach for the Polish National Baseball Team and is a co-founder of a basketball team in the Basketball Africa League, showing a strong affinity for building competitive organizations from the ground up.
• A focus on cross-border cultural and business connections, particularly involving Poland, Colombia, and Japan. He frequently travels to these regions and works on projects that bridge them with the US, such as finding sponsors for Colombian Winter Olympic athletes or screening his film production for friends in Tokyo.
• Professional history in media, entertainment, and video games. He has deep roots in the tech-media space, evidenced by his early involvement with YouTube where he uploaded one of the first videos on the platform, and his recent promotion of a Game Boy Color game he developed over two decades ago.
• Appreciation for cold outreach and serendipitous networking. He explicitly stated that he enjoys receiving cold emails because of the unexpected opportunities they create, and he often uses his own platform to crowdsource help for varied tasks like graphic design or finding fashion connections in Italy.
• Passion for film production and the arts. He is actively involved in promoting a movie called Peasants (Chlopi), organizing screenings in various cities like Warsaw and Osaka, and celebrating its transition into a theater production.
