EU-Startups Podcast | Episode 146: Zuzanna Stamirowska Co-founder and CEO of Pathway
This week on the EU-Startups Podcast, we sit down with Zuzanna Stamirowska, CEO and Co-founder of Pathway, the company behind the world’s first post-transformer AI model.
Pathway is developing an architecture designed to adapt and think more like humans, moving beyond the limitations of traditional transformers. To date, they have raised over €15 million, offering native memory, temporal awareness, and full visibility into how the model works, combining these capabilities with one of the fastest data-processing engines on the market. Trusted by organisations such as NATO, La Poste, and Formula 1 racing teams, Pathway is aiming to bring enterprises a new level of contextualised, experience-driven intelligence.
In this episode, we talk about why AI needs new foundations, how Pathway updates reasoning as new evidence arrives, and what “glass-box AI” looks like in practice. We also touch on long-range context, data efficiency, the patterns they see across NATO, La Poste, and F1, what their top ranking on Hugging Face unlocked, the capability Zuzanna is most excited about for the next 12 months, and much more!

Key Takeaways:
- AI’s next leap is architectural, not incremental.
- Memory and time unlock adaptation transformers can’t touch.
- Context beats parameter count.
- Glass-box visibility will become an enterprise requirement.
- Less data, more reasoning: the future is efficiency over scale.
