Our Story — Hustro
Our story

From a construction site problem
to a platform used in 8 countries

2018
The beginning

The problem we couldn't ignore

Hustro was born on a construction site, not in a boardroom. Our founders — Adam Subotkowski, Andrzej Bogatko and Ernest Szydelski — spent years working on complex construction projects in Poland. They saw the same problems everywhere: defects tracked in Excel, inspections on paper, WhatsApp replacing proper communication, and hours wasted every week generating reports manually. In 2018, they started building a solution.

2019
Founded & funded

Hustro is incorporated – and backed by its first investor

Hustro sp. z o.o. is formally established in Wrocław, Poland. The same year, Shibumi International — a fund specialising in construction technology — invests in Hustro, becoming the company's first institutional backer. The investment validates the product direction and accelerates development.

First pilots

First pilots – and a second investor

Hustro is deployed in its first major pilot with Gulermak during the construction of the Warsaw Metro — one of the most complex infrastructure projects in Poland at the time. The pilot proves the platform works at scale, in demanding conditions, with large teams of subcontractors. In the same year, Polish venture fund Value Tech invests in Hustro, supporting the company's growth in the Polish market.

New sectors

First shipyard deployments – a new industry adopts Hustro

2025 marks Hustro's entry into the shipbuilding sector. The platform is deployed at CRIST Shipyard in Gdynia — one of Poland's largest shipyards, specialising in offshore vessels and specialist ships. H&S managers at shipyards face the same challenges as construction sites: multiple subcontractors, complex environments and strict compliance requirements. Hustro handles all of it from mobile, online and offline.

Our Mission — Hustro
Our mission

The built world deserves better tools than paper and Excel.

Most construction management still happens on paper, in WhatsApp groups and in spreadsheets. We're changing that - one site at a time. Our goal is simple: give every construction team the digital tools they need to build faster, safer and with less waste.

📱
Built for the site, not the office

Hustro works offline, on any mobile device, in any conditions - from residential developments to offshore shipyards. If it doesn't work without Wi-Fi in a basement, it's not built for construction.

Live in 24 hours, not 6 months

We believe software should adapt to how construction teams work - not the other way around. Most clients are up and running the same day, without an IT project or a lengthy onboarding programme.

🔗
One system for every party

Developers, general contractors, subcontractors, H&S consultants, property managers and shipyard operators - all using the same platform. No more information silos between parties on the same project.

🛡️
Documentation that protects you

Every defect timestamped. Every inspection documented. Every deadline tracked. Hustro creates an irrefutable audit trail that protects all parties - in disputes, in audits and in court.

Founders — Hustro
The team

Three co-founders,
still hands-on since day one.

Ernest Szydelski – Co-founder & CEO, Hustro
Ernest Szydelski
Co-founder & CEO

Ernest started his career as a lawyer, where he repeatedly encountered the same problem: construction defects that were poorly documented, disputed and ended up in court. He saw first-hand how much damage a missing photo or an unsigned protocol could cause. That observation became the seed of Hustro. Before co-founding the company, he worked at VR Global - a proptech studio building virtual and augmented reality solutions for the real estate industry — where he led sales.

Andrzej Bogatko – Co-founder & COO, Hustro
Andrzej Bogatko
Co-founder & COO

Andrzej spent years designing digital products - first at Divante, one of Poland's leading e-commerce agencies, where he worked on platforms for the construction and building materials sector. He later joined VR Global, designing applications for real estate presentations in VR and AR. At Hustro, he brought that product design background into an industry that had never seen software built with the same care for user experience.

Adam Subotkowski – Co-founder & CTO, Hustro
Adam Subotkowski
Co-founder & CTO

Adam has spent his career building software - across various companies in software development before joining VR Global, where he programmed and tested virtual and augmented reality applications for real estate. At Hustro, he leads the engineering of a platform that has to work reliably offline, on mobile, on construction sites and in shipyards - environments where most software simply fails.
